187/50 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 187, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 50. A decimal is a way to represent the 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.

187/50 as a decimal

Answer

 

187/50 in decimals can be written as 3.74. It is a terminating decimal, indicating it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 187/50 into a decimal, we will use the division method. We divide 187 by 50, which gives us 3.74. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (187) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (50) as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Divide 187 by 50.

 

Step 3: 50 goes into 187 three times because 50 × 3 = 150. Write 3 in the quotient.

 

Step 4: Subtract 150 from 187 to get 37.

 

Step 5: Bring down a 0, making it 370.

 

Step 6: 50 goes into 370 seven times because 50 × 7 = 350. Write 7 in the quotient.

 

Step 7: Subtract 350 from 370 to get 20.

 

Step 8: Bring down another 0, making it 200.

 

Step 9: 50 goes into 200 four times because 50 × 4 = 200. Write 4 in the quotient.

 

Step 10: Subtract 200 from 200 to get 0, stopping the division process.

 

The answer to 187/50 as a decimal is 3.74.
