7/50 as a Decimal

Answer

7/50 in decimals can be written as 0.14. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat any digits infinitely.

Explanation

To get 7/50 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 7 is smaller than 50, we will use the decimal method to find our answer. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (7) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (50) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 7 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided directly. We will take the help of decimals by adding 0 to the dividend, which will make 7 as 70 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 70, we can divide it by 50. Let's see how many times 50 fits into 70.

Step 4: 70 divided by 50 is 1, as 50 × 1 = 50. We will write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 50 from 70, which gives 20.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 200 and then repeat the division process.

Step 6: 200 divided by 50 is 4, as 50 × 4 = 200. Write 4 in the quotient place.

The remainder is now 0, so the division process stops here.

The answer for 7/50 as a decimal will be 0.14.
