To solve this problem, we'll proceed as follows:
Now, let's work through these steps:
Step 1: The fraction represents a division of 29 by 100. Performing this division gives us .
Step 2: Next, we add this decimal to the whole number 1. This results in:
Therefore, the decimal representation of is .
How much of the whole does the shaded area (blue) represent?
When the denominator is 100, you're dividing by 100, which moves the decimal point two places left. So 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29, placing 29 in the hundredths place.
The process stays the same! and . Just divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal.
Not necessary! You can convert any fraction directly to decimal. However, if you want to simplify first, it's already in lowest terms since 29 and 100 share no common factors.
Mixed numbers already separate the whole part from the fractional part. With improper fractions like , you'd first divide to get 1 remainder 29, then convert the remainder.
Remember: the denominator tells you the decimal places! 10 = tenths (1 place), 100 = hundredths (2 places), 1000 = thousandths (3 places), and so on.
