63/5 as a Decimal

Answer

63/5 in decimals can be written as 12.6. It is a terminating decimal, which means it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To convert 63/5 into a 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 (63) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (5) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 63 by 5.

Step 3: 5 goes into 63 a total of 12 times (5 x 12 = 60). Write 12 in the quotient place.

Step 4: Subtract 60 from 63 to get the remainder of 3.

Step 5: Bring down a 0 to make it 30 and continue the division.

Step 6: 5 goes into 30 exactly 6 times (5 x 6 = 30). Write 6 in the quotient place.

Step 7: Subtract 30 from 30 to get the remainder of 0. Since the remainder is 0, we stop here.

The answer for 63/5 as a decimal is 12.6.
