Write the following fractions in decimals:(i) $\frac{8}{10}$ (ii) $\frac{12}{15}$
Given :
The given numbers are (i) $\frac{8}{10}$ (ii) $\frac{12}{15}$
To do :
We have to convert the given fractions to decimals.
Solution :
To convert a Fraction to a Decimal, follow these steps:
Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10 or a multiple of 10.
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.
Step 3: Then write down just the top number, putting the decimal point in the correct spot (one space from the right hand side for every zero in the bottom number).
(i) $\frac{8}{10}$
$\frac{8}{10} = 0.8$
(ii) $\frac{12}{15}$
$\frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$
$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{(4\times20)}{(5\times 20)}$
$= \frac{80}{100}$
$= 0.80$
$= 0.8$
Therefore, $\frac{8}{10}$ in decimal is 0.8 and $\frac{12}{15}$ in deciaml is 0.8.
