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, 11 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 55. 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 fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
11/55 in decimals can be written as 0.2. It is a terminating decimal, meaning the division ends.
To get 11/55 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 (11) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (55) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: Perform the division of 11 by 55. Since 11 is smaller than 55, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 11 as 110 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.
Step 3: Now that it is 110, we can divide it by 55. Let's see how many times 55 fits into 110.
Step 4: 55 fits into 110 exactly twice, which gives us 110, so we write 2 in the quotient place. Step 5: Subtract 110 from 110, which gives a remainder of 0. The process stops here as there is no remainder.
The answer for 11/55 as a decimal will be 0.2.
