Question

Write the following fraction as a decimal:

$\frac{20}{100}=$

00:05 Let's convert to a decimal fraction.

00:09 First, take the numerator as your number.

00:12 Then, depending on the denominator, move the decimal point.

00:17 If the denominator is one hundred, move the point two places to the left.

00:23 And that's how you solve the problem!

Let's write the simple fraction as a decimal fraction

$20.0$

Since the fraction divides by 100, we move the decimal point once to the left and get:

$.200$

We'll add the zero before the decimal point and get:

$0.200=0.2$

0.2
