39/50 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: numerator (number on the top) here, 39 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 50. 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 those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 39/50 as a decimal?

39/50 as a decimalAnswer

 

39/50 in decimals can be written as 0.78. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat the same digit infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To get 39/50 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 39 is smaller than 50, we will take the help of decimal method which will give us 0.78. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because numerator (39) will be taken as dividend and denominator (50) will be taken as divisor.

 

Step 2: As 39 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided into a whole number, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 39 as 390 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

 

Step 3: Now that it is 390, we can divide it by 50. Let's see how many times 50 goes into 390.

 

Step 4: 390 divided by 50 gives 7 with a remainder. We will write 7 in the quotient place.

 

Step 5: Subtract 350 (50 times 7) from 390 to get a remainder of 40.

 

Step 6: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 400. Divide 400 by 50 to get 8 with no remainder. Write 8 in the quotient place.

 

Since there is no remainder, 39/50 as a decimal will be 0.78.
