Converting the Fraction 19/100 to Decimal Form: Step-by-Step

Question

Write the following fraction as a decimal:

$\frac{19}{100}=$

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

00:09 Take the top number, called the numerator, as is.

00:13 And then, look at the bottom number, the denominator.

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

00:23 And that's how we solve this problem!

Let's write the simple fraction as a decimal fraction

$19.0$

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

$.190$

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

$0.190=0.19$

0.19
