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: numerator (number on the top) here, 13 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 20. 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.
4 13/20 in decimals can be written as 4.65. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends without repeating.
To get 4 13/20 in decimal, we will convert the fractional part 13/20 into a decimal and then add it to the whole number 4. 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 (20) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Perform the division 13 ÷ 20 to convert the fraction into a decimal.
Step 3: Since 13 is smaller than 20, we add a decimal point and zero to the dividend, making it 130.
Step 4: Divide 130 by 20, which results in 6 with a remainder of 10.
Step 5: Bring down another 0 to make it 100, and divide by 20, which results in 5 with a remainder of 0.
Step 6: Since there is no remainder, the decimal conversion for 13/20 is 0.65.
Step 7: Add this decimal to the whole number part, resulting in 4.65.
