24/60 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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 24 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 60. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal 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.

24/60 as a decimal

Answer

 

24/60 in decimals can be simplified to 0.4. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after a finite number of digits.

 

Explanation

 

To get 24/60 in decimal form, we will use division. First, simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor of 24 and 60, which is 12. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 12.

 

Step 1: Simplify 24/60 by dividing both by 12, resulting in 2/5.

 

Step 2: Now, divide 2 by 5 to convert it into a decimal.

 

Step 3: 2 is smaller than 5, so add a decimal point and a zero to make it 20.

 

Step 4: Divide 20 by 5, which equals 4.

 

Step 5: The division process ends here as there is no remainder.

 

The answer for 24/60 as a decimal is 0.4.
