14/70 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we first need to grasp the concepts of fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole and has two components: the numerator (the top number), which indicates how many parts of the whole we have, and the denominator (the bottom number), which tells us how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to express a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point are the whole part, and numbers to the right are the fractional part.

14/70 as a decimal

 

 

Answer

14/70 in decimal form can be simplified and written as 0.2. This is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

To convert 14/70 into a decimal, we will utilize the division method. Let's go through the process step by step:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (14) will be the dividend, and the denominator (70) will be the divisor.

 

Step 2: Perform the division: 14 divided by 70.

 

Step 3: Since 14 is smaller than 70, we add a decimal point and zeros to the dividend to enable division.

 

Step 4: Divide 140 by 70, which equals 2.

 

Step 5: The quotient is 0.2, as we inserted a decimal point at the beginning. The division process results in a terminating decimal.

 

Therefore, the answer for 14/70 as a decimal is 0.2.
