81/4 as a Decimal

Answer

81/4 in decimals can be written as 20.25. It is a terminating decimal.

Explanation

To get 81/4 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here 81 is divided by 4 to get 20.25. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (81) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (4) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: Divide 81 by 4. 4 goes into 81 a total of 20 times, since 4 × 20 = 80.

Step 3: Subtract 80 from 81, which gives us a remainder of 1.

Step 4: Since there is a remainder, we add a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a 0 to make it 10.

Step 5: 4 goes into 10 a total of 2 times, since 4 × 2 = 8. Subtract 8 from 10, leaving a remainder of 2.

Step 6: Bring down another 0 to make it 20. 4 goes into 20 exactly 5 times. The division process ends here as we get a remainder of 0.

The answer for 81/4 as a decimal is 20.25.
