4/50 as a Decimal

Answer

4/50 in decimals can be written as 0.1. It is a terminating decimal, showing it will not repeat and ends after two decimal places.

Explanation

To get 4/50 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 4 is smaller than 50, we will take help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.08. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (4) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (50) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 4 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 4 as 40 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 40, we can divide it by 50. Let's see how many times 50 makes 40.

Step 4: 40 is not a multiple of 50, so we will look for the nearest number that is 0 × 50 = 0. We will write 0 in the quotient place and bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 400.

Step 5: Now, divide 400 by 50, which gives 8. 50 × 8 = 400, so there is no remainder.

The answer for 4/50 as a decimal will be 0.1.
