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 7, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 100. 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.
7/100 in decimals can be written as 0.07. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.
To get 7/100 in decimal, we will use the division method. Since 7 is smaller than 100, we will use the decimal method, which will give us 0.07. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (7) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (100) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 7 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 7 into 70 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.
Step 3: Now that it is 70, we need another zero to make it 700 to divide by 100.
Step 4: 100 goes into 700 seven times. We will write 0.07 in the quotient place. Step 5: Since there is no remainder, the division process ends here.
The answer for 7/100 as a decimal is 0.07.
