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, 29 represents how many parts are being considered. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 2. 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 fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
29/2 in decimals can be written as 14.5. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.
To get 29/2 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 29 is greater than 2, we will proceed with the division directly. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (29) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (2) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Divide 29 by 2. The result of 29 divided by 2 is 14 with a remainder of 1.
Step 3: Since we have a remainder, we will add a decimal point in the quotient place and bring down a 0, making the remainder 1 into 10.
Step 4: Now divide 10 by 2, which gives 5.
Step 5: Write 5 in the quotient after the decimal point, resulting in 14.5. As there is no remainder, the process stops here.
The answer for 29/2 as a decimal will be 14.5.
