27/10 as a Decimal

Answer

27/10 in decimals can be written as 2.7. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends after one decimal place.

Explanation

To get 27/10 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 27 is larger than 10, we can directly divide without initially adding any decimal points. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (27) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (10) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Since 27 is larger than 10, we can divide directly. We will divide 27 by 10.

Step 3: 10 goes into 27 two times completely (10 × 2 = 20). We write 2 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 20 from 27, which gives us a remainder of 7.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make the remainder 70 and continue division.

Step 6: 10 goes into 70 exactly seven times (10 × 7 = 70), leaving a remainder of 0, thus completing the division.

The answer for 27/10 as a decimal will be 2.7.
