28/1000 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 a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 28, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 1000. 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 fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 28/1000 as a decimal?

28/1000 as a decimal

 

 

Answer

28/1000 in decimal form can be written as 0.028. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

To convert 28/1000 into a decimal, we can use division. Since 28 is smaller than 1000, the result will be less than 1, hence a decimal. Let's break down the process step by step:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and the denominator, where the numerator (28) will be the dividend and the denominator (1000) will be the divisor.

 

Step 2: As 28 is smaller than 1000, it can't be divided directly without resulting in a fraction, so we'll use decimals. We place a decimal point in the quotient and add zeros to the right of 28 to help divide.

 

Step 3: Convert 28 into 280 by considering the first zero after the decimal, and divide by 1000.

 

Step 4: As 280 is still smaller than 1000, bring down another zero, making it 2800.

 

Step 5: Now, 2800 divided by 1000 results in 2.800, but since we're dividing by 1000, we only consider the first three digits after the decimal leading to 0.028.

 

The answer for 28/1000 as a decimal is 0.028.
