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: 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 1000. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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.
7/1000 in decimals can be written as 0.007. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat indefinitely.
To get 7/1000 in decimal, we will use the division method. Since 7 is much smaller than 1000, we need to use the decimal method to perform the conversion. 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 (1000) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Since 7 is smaller than 1000, we can't divide it directly. We will add zeros to the dividend to make it 7000 and use a decimal point in the quotient.
Step 3: Now, divide 7000 by 1000.
Step 4: Determine how many times 1000 fits into 7000. Step 5: 1000 goes into 7000 exactly 7 times. The division process results in a quotient, 0.007.
Thus, the answer for 7/1000 as a decimal is 0.007.
