81/100 as a decimal

Answer

81/100 in decimals can be written as 0.81. It is a terminating decimal, which means it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To convert 81/100 into a decimal, we will use division. Here, as 81 is smaller than 100, we will apply the division method, which will give us 0.81. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (81) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (100) as the divisor.

Step 2: Since 81 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly. We will add a decimal to the quotient and make the number 810 by adding a zero to the dividend.

Step 3: Now that it is 810, we can divide it by 100. 100 goes into 810 eight times (since 100 × 8 = 800).

Step 4: Subtract 800 from 810, which gives 10.

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

Step 6: The remainder is 0, and the division ends here.

The answer for 81/100 as a decimal is 0.81.
