54 3/11 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 from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 3 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 11. A decimal is a way to represent the 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.

What is 54 3/11 as a decimal?

54 3/11 as a decimal

Answer

 

54 3/11 in decimals can be written as 54.2727….. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digits infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 54 3/11 into a decimal, first convert the fraction 3/11 into a decimal using division. Once you have the decimal equivalent of the fraction, add it to the whole number 54. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because numerator (3) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (11) will be taken as the divisor.

 

Step 2: As 3 is smaller than 11, it can't be divided directly. We will take the help of decimals. We add 0 to the dividend, making 3 into 30, and put a decimal point in the quotient.

 

Step 3: Now that it is 30, we can divide it by 11. Let's see how many times 11 fits into 30.

 

Step 4: 30 is not a multiple of 11, so we find the nearest number: 11 × 2 = 22. We write 2 in the quotient and subtract 22 from 30, which gives 8.

 

Step 5: Bring down another 0 to make it 80 and repeat the division process. 11 goes into 80 seven times (11 × 7 = 77), leaving a remainder of 3.

 

Step 6: As the remainder is not zero, we continue the process, bringing down another 0 to make it 30 and repeating the division process, resulting in a recurring decimal. The process continues, so the decimal representation of 3/11 is 0.2727...

 

Therefore, the answer for 54 3/11 as a decimal is 54.2727...
