-1/10 as a Decimal

Answer

-1/10 in decimals can be written as -0.1. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get -1/10 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 1 is smaller than 10, we will take help of the decimal method which will give us -0.1. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (-1) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (10) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 1 is smaller than 10, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make -1 as -10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is -10, we can divide it by 10. 10 goes into 10 exactly 1 time.

Step 4: We write -0.1 in the quotient place as dividing -10 by 10 gives -1, and we have already placed the decimal point.

The answer for -1/10 as a decimal will be -0.1.
