28/3 as a Decimal

Answer

28/3 in decimals can be written as 9.3333. It is a recurring decimal, showing it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

Explanation

To get 28/3 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 (28) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (3) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 28 by 3. The whole number part of the quotient is 9, as 3 goes into 28 nine times (3 × 9 = 27).

Step 3: Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1 as the remainder.

Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make it 10 and continue the division. 3 goes into 10 three times (3 × 3 = 9).

Step 5: Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1. Bring down another 0 to make it 10 and repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.

The answer for 28/3 as a decimal will be 9.3333.
