22/5 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we need to be familiar with fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole and consists of two parts: the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number). Here, 22 is the numerator, indicating the parts considered, and 5 is the denominator, indicating how many parts make up a whole. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while those to the right represent the fractional part.

22/5 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

22/5 in decimal form is written as 4.4.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 22/5 into a decimal, we use the division method. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. The numerator (22) will be the dividend, and the denominator (5) will be the divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 22 by 5.

 

Step 3: Since 22 divided by 5 equals 4 with a remainder, the process continues.

 

Step 4: The integer part of the quotient is 4.

 

Step 5: For the remainder, add a decimal point and continue the division.

 

Step 6: The remainder 2 becomes 20 when a 0 is added, and dividing 20 by 5 gives 4.

 

Thus, 22 divided by 5 equals 4.4, a terminating decimal.
