Answer

167/50 in decimals can be written as 3.34. It is a terminating decimal, which means it ends after a certain number of digits.

Explanation

To convert 167/50 into a decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 167 is greater than 50, we can divide directly. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (167) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (50) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 167 by 50.

Step 3: 50 goes into 167 three times because 50 × 3 = 150. Write 3 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 150 from 167, which gives 17.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make it 170. Divide 170 by 50.

Step 6: 50 goes into 170 three times because 50 × 3 = 150. Write 3 in the quotient place, next to the previous 3.

Step 7: Subtract 150 from 170, which gives 20.

Step 8: Bring down another 0 to make it 200. Divide 200 by 50.

Step 9: 50 goes into 200 exactly 4 times because 50 × 4 = 200. Write 4 in the quotient place.

Step 10: Subtract 200 from 200, which gives 0. The division ends here.

The answer for 167/50 as a decimal will be 3.34.
