54/100 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 (the number on the top), here 54, representing how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (the number below), here 100, showing how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or 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 54/100 as a decimal?

54/100 as a decimal

 

 

Answer

54/100 in decimals can be written as 0.54. It is a terminating decimal as it ends after the second decimal place.

 

Explanation

To convert 54/100 to a decimal, we will use the division method. Here, 54 is the numerator (dividend) and 100 is the denominator (divisor). Since 54 is smaller than 100, the quotient will be a decimal less than 1.

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. The numerator (54) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (100) will be taken as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Since 54 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly to give a whole number, so we use decimals.

 

Step 3: Divide 54 by 100. This is straightforward since 100 is a power of 10, moving the decimal two places to the left.

 

Step 4: The result is 0.54.

 

Step 5: Since there are no more digits to bring down, the division ends here. This is a terminating decimal.
