It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 94, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 5. A decimal is a way to represent a 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.
94/5 in decimals can be written as 18.8. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after a finite number of digits.
To get 94/5 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, 94 is larger than 5, so we can perform direct division. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (94) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (5) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Divide 94 by 5. Determine how many times 5 fits into 94.
Step 3: 5 fits into 94 a total of 18 times because 5 × 18 = 90. We write 18 in the quotient place and subtract 90 from 94, which gives 4.
Step 4: To continue the division, bring down a 0 to make it 40.
Step 5: Now, 5 fits into 40 exactly 8 times because 5 × 8 = 40. Write 8 in the quotient place, and subtract 40 from 40, which gives 0. The division process ends here as the remainder is 0.
The answer for 94/5 as a decimal will be 18.8.
