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 13, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 65. 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.
13/65 in decimals can be written as 0.2. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends and does not repeat infinitely.
To get 13/65 in decimal, we will use the division method. As 13 is smaller than 65, we will use the decimal method to find the answer. 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 (65) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 13 is smaller than 65, it can't be divided directly. We will add a decimal point to the quotient and add zeros to the dividend.
Step 3: Now, we treat it as 130. We see how many times 65 fits into 130.
Step 4: 65 fits into 130 exactly 2 times (65 × 2 = 130). Step 5: We subtract 130 from 130, which gives us 0 as the remainder. Since the division has no remainder,
the answer for 13/65 as a decimal is 0.2.
