find a decimal that is equal to each fraction. round to the nearest thousandth if necessary 271/100

Sagot :

[tex]\frac{271}{100}\text{ = 2.71}[/tex]

Here, we want to find the decimal equal to the given fraction

To do this, we look at the number which is the denominator

The number here is 100

What this mean is that we are going to shift the decimal point two times (due to 2 zeros; if 1000, 3 times)

The decimal point is not visible on the numerator which means it is at the back of the last number 1 but it is not necessary to write it

By virtue of the movement, the decimal point will be moved two times, which will make it land at the back of the first number 2

So, we have the expression as;

[tex]\frac{271}{100}\text{ = 2.71}[/tex]
