Find the Equal Value: Determining the Number Equal to 2/25

Question

Which number is equal to $\frac{2}{25}$ ?

00:00 Convert to decimal fraction

00:03 Convert the fraction to a fraction with denominator of 100

00:06 Make sure to multiply both numerator and denominator

00:13 When the denominator equals 100, the numerator is the decimal number

00:20 When dividing by 100, the decimal point moves twice to the left

00:29 And this is the solution to the question

Firstly we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by a number that will help us reach 100 in the denominator:

$\frac{2\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{8}{100}$

Now let's rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:

$8.0$

Since we are dividing by 100, the decimal point will move two places to the left, giving us:

$.080$

Finally we will add the 0 before the decimal point to get:

$0.080=0.08$

0.08
