9/5 as a Decimal

Answer

9/5 in decimals can be written as 1.8. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends and does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 9/5 in decimal, we will use the division method. Since 9 is greater than 5, we can directly divide.

Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (9) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (5) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 9 by 5. This division gives us 1 with a remainder of 4.

Step 3: Since there is a remainder, we add a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a 0 to make it 40.

Step 4: Now, divide 40 by 5, which gives us 8. Step 5: The division is complete as the remainder is 0.

The answer for 9/5 as a decimal will be 1.8.
