13/60 as a decimal

Answer

13/60 in decimals can be written as 0.2166... It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 13/60 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 13 is smaller than 60, we will take help of the decimal method which will give us 0.2166... Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (13) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (60) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 13 is smaller than 60, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 13 as 130 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 130, we divide it by 60. Let's see how many times 60 fits into 130.

Step 4: 60 fits into 130 twice (2 × 60 = 120), so we write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 120 from 130 to get 10.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 100, and then repeat the division process.

Step 6: 60 fits into 100 once (1 × 60 = 60), so we write 1 in the quotient and subtract 60 from 100 to get 40.

Step 7: Bring down another 0 to make it 400, and divide by 60 to get 6 (6 × 60 = 360), then subtract 360 to get 40 again. The division process continues with 40 repeating, so this process results in a recurring decimal.

The answer for 13/60 as a decimal will be 0.2166...
