Please help me simplify 12/75 to a decimal

Sagot :

[tex]\frac{12}{75}=\frac{12:3}{75:3}=\frac{4}{25}=\frac{4\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{16}{100}=0.16[/tex]

For this case we have the following fraction:

[tex] \frac{12}{75} [/tex]

Dividing the numerator and the denominator between 3 we have:

[tex] \frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{75}{3}} [/tex]

Then, multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4 we have:

[tex] \frac{4}{25} = \frac{4}{25} *\frac{4}{4} [/tex]

We observe that we have a number divided by 100. Therefore, we must move the comma two units to the left:

[tex] \frac{16}{100} = 0.16 [/tex]

Answer:

The number in its decimal form is given by:

[tex] \frac{12}{75} = 0.16 [/tex]
