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: the numerator (number on top) here, 9, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 10. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
Answer
9/10 in decimals can be written as 0.9. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after one digit.
To get 9/10 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 9 is smaller than 10, we will use the decimal method which will give us 0.9. 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 (10) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 9 is smaller than 10, it can't be divided evenly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 9 as 90 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.
Step 3: Now that it is 90, we can divide it by 10. Let's see how many times 10 makes 90.
Step 4: 90 divided by 10 is exactly 9, which means the division process concludes here without any further remainder.
The answer for 9/10 as a decimal will be 0.9.
