It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 754 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 22. 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.

What is 754/22 as a decimal?

$754/22 as a decimal$ Answer

754/22 in decimals can be written as 34.2727. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digits infinitely.

Explanation

To get 754/22 in decimal, we will use the division method. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (754) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (22) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 754 by 22. The initial division gives us the whole number part.

Step 3: 22 goes into 754 thirty-four times, so 34 is the whole number part.

Step 4: Subtract 34 * 22 = 748 from 754 to get a remainder of 6.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make it 60 and divide by 22. 22 goes into 60 two times, giving us 44. Subtract 44 from 60 to get 16.

Step 6: Bring down another 0 to make 160 and repeat the division process. The process shows that the division doesn't terminate, indicating a recurring decimal.

Therefore, the answer for 754/22 as a decimal is 34.2727.
