2/50 as a Decimal

Answer

2/50 in decimals can be written as 0.04. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat.

Explanation

To get 2/50 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 2 is smaller than 50, we will use the decimal method, which will give us 0.04. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (2) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (50) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 2 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided directly, so we will add a decimal point in the quotient and add 0 to the dividend, making 2 as 20.

Step 3: Now that it is 20, it can still not be divided by 50, so we will add another 0 to make it 200.

Step 4: 200 can be divided by 50, and 50 goes into 200 exactly 4 times.

Step 5: Write 4 in the quotient place, and the division ends as there is no remainder.

The answer for 2/50 as a decimal will be 0.04.
