30/50 as a decimal

Answer

30/50 in decimals can be written as 0.6. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 30/50 in decimal, we will use division method. Here as 30 is smaller than 50 we will take help of decimal method which will give us 0.6. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because numerator (30) will be taken as dividend and denominator (50) will be taken as divisor.

Step 2: As 30 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided directly, here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 30 as 300 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 300, we can divide it by 50. Let's see how many times 50 makes 300.

Step 4: 300 is a multiple of 50, and 50 × 6 = 300. We will write 6 in the quotient place, and subtracting 300 from 300 gives 0.

Step 5: Since the remainder is 0, the division process stops here.

The answer for 30/50 as a decimal will be 0.6.
