Exercise #16

201000= \frac{20}{1000}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to convert the fraction 201000\frac{20}{1000} into a decimal.

Step 1: Recognize that dividing by 1000 is equivalent to moving the decimal point three places to the left in the number 20.

Step 2: When we perform this division directly, we calculate 20÷100020 \div 1000.

Since 2020 has effectively no decimal places to begin with, we must move three places left through zero to accommodate 10001000 as a divisor:

20.02.000.2000.02020.0 \rightarrow 2.00 \rightarrow 0.200 \rightarrow 0.020

Therefore, the decimal form of 201000\frac{20}{1000} is 0.02\textbf{0.02}.

Exercise #17

5500= \frac{5}{500}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of converting the fraction 5500\frac{5}{500} into a decimal, we'll employ the following approach:

  • Step 1: Simplify the fraction 5500\frac{5}{500}.
  • Step 2: Convert the simplified fraction to a decimal.
  • Step 3: Verify the result through division.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Simplify the fraction:

The fraction 5500\frac{5}{500} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
5÷5500÷5=1100\frac{5 \div 5}{500 \div 5} = \frac{1}{100}.

Step 2: Convert the simplified fraction to a decimal:

1100\frac{1}{100} is equivalent to 0.01 in decimal form.

Step 3: Verify the result by division:

Dividing 5 by 500 gives:

5÷500=0.015 \div 500 = 0.01.

The division confirms that the decimal conversion is correct.

Thus, the value of 5500\frac{5}{500} in decimal form is 0.01\mathbf{0.01}.

Exercise #18

221000= \frac{22}{1000}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Assess the fraction, identifying the denominator as 1000.
  • Step 2: Recognize that with the denominator as a power of 10, we move the decimal point a corresponding number of places in the numerator.
  • Step 3: Execute the conversion to decimal form by moving the decimal point.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We're given the fraction 221000\frac{22}{1000}.
Step 2: Since the denominator is 1000, which is 10310^3, we will move the decimal point in the numerator (22) three places to the left.
Step 3: Moving the decimal point three places to the left in 22, we get 0.022.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0.022 0.022 .

Exercise #19

771000= \frac{77}{1000}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Understand that 771000\frac{77}{1000} is a fraction where the denominator is a power of 10.
  • Recognize that the decimal equivalent can be found directly by placing the decimal point three places to the left of the numerator (since the denominator is 1000).
  • Write down the result.

Now, let's work through each step:

771000 \frac{77}{1000} means dividing 77 by 1000.

Step 1: Recognize that the denominator 1000 allows us to place the decimal point 3 positions to the left of the numerator.

Step 2: Start with 77, which can be viewed as 077 to ensure we can correctly place the decimal point.

Step 3: Move the decimal point three places left to get 0.0770.077.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0.077 0.077 .

Exercise #20

23300= 2\frac{3}{300}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the mixed number 23300 2\frac{3}{300} , we will convert the fractional part 3300\frac{3}{300} into a decimal:

  • Step 1: Calculate the decimal equivalent of 3300\frac{3}{300}. We do this by performing the division.
    3300=3÷300=0.01 \frac{3}{300} = 3 \div 300 = 0.01
  • Step 2: Add the whole number to this result.
    The whole number component is 22, and adding the fractional decimal gives 2+0.01=2.012 + 0.01 = 2.01.

Therefore, the decimal representation of 23300 2\frac{3}{300} is 2.012.01.

Thus, the solution to the problem is 2.01 2.01 .
