2/25 as a Decimal

Answer

2/25 in decimals can be written as 0.08. It is a terminating decimal.

Explanation

To get 2/25 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 2 is smaller than 25, we will use the decimal method, which will give us 0.08. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (2) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (25) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 2 is smaller than 25, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 2 as 20 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 20, we can divide it by 25. However, 20 is still smaller than 25, so we add another 0 to make it 200 in the dividend place.

Step 4: 25 can go into 200 exactly 8 times because 25 × 8 = 200.

Step 5: Subtract 200 from 200 gives 0, and as the remainder is 0, the division process stops here.

The answer for 2/25 as a decimal is 0.08.
