13/10 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts
Foundation

Advance Topics

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), which in this case is 13, representing how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (number below), which is 10, showing how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 13/10 as a decimal?

13/10 as a decimal

Answer

 

13/10 in decimal form can be written as 1.3. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 13/10 into a decimal, we use the division method. Since 13 is greater than 10, we can directly perform the division to get a decimal. Let's break down the step-by-step process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. Here, the numerator (13) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (10) will be taken as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 13 by 10. Since 13 is greater than 10, we can directly perform this division.

 

Step 3: 10 fits into 13 once, so we write 1 in the quotient place. This leaves a remainder of 3.

 

Step 4: Bring down a zero to make the remainder 30.

 

Step 5: 10 fits into 30 three times exactly, so we write 3 in the quotient place. Since there is no remainder left, the process stops here.

 

The answer for 13/10 as a decimal is 1.3.
