27/2 as a Decimal

Answer

27/2 in decimals can be written as 13.5. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it will not repeat and ends after one digit.

Explanation

To get 27/2 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here 27 is larger than 2, so we can directly divide it. 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 (2) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 27 by 2.

Step 3: 2 goes into 27 thirteen times (2 × 13 = 26), leaving a remainder of 1.

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 10.

Step 5: 2 goes into 10 five times (2 × 5 = 10), leaving no remainder. Since there is no remainder, the process stops here.

The answer for 27/2 as a decimal is 13.5.
