It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 4 represents the parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 25. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
4 4/25 in decimals can be written as 4.16. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat indefinitely.
To convert 4 4/25 into a decimal, we will first separate the whole number and the fractional part. The whole number is 4. The fractional part is 4/25. Let's convert 4/25 into a decimal.
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. The numerator (4) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (25) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Divide 4 by 25. Since 4 is smaller than 25, we will use the decimal method. Add a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a zero, making the dividend 40.
Step 3: Divide 40 by 25. 25 goes into 40 once (1 x 25 = 25). Subtract 25 from 40, which leaves 15.
Step 4: Bring down another 0, making it 150. Divide 150 by 25. 25 goes into 150 six times (6 x 25 = 150).
Step 5: Subtract 150 from 150, leaving 0. Since the remainder is 0, the decimal terminates her
So, the decimal representation of 4 4/25 is 4.16.
