9/36 as a Decimal

Answer

9/36 in decimals can be written as 0.25. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it will not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 9/36 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 9 is smaller than 36, we will convert it using the decimal method, which will give us 0.25. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (9) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (36) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 9 is smaller than 36, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 9 as 90 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 90, we can divide it by 36. Let's see how many times 36 makes 90.

Step 4: 90 is not a multiple of 36, but 36 × 2 = 72 is the nearest number. We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 72 from 90, giving 18.

Step 5: Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 180, and then repeat the division process. 36 goes into 180 five times exactly, as 36 × 5 = 180. The division process ends here, and we get a remainder of 0.

The answer for 9/36 as a decimal will be 0.25.
