Question

Use long division to convert 7 1/1 to a decimal.(

Answer 1

To convert 7 1/1 to a decimal using long division, we first write it as an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator of the fraction (1), and add the numerator (1) to the result.

7 * 1 = 7
7 + 1 = 8

So, 7 1/1 is equivalent to the fraction 8/1.

To convert this fraction to a decimal using long division, we divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (1).

___________
1 | 8.0000

We start by dividing 8 by 1, which gives us 8. Place the result (8) above the division line.

Next, we subtract 8 from 8, which leaves no remainder.

Now, we bring down the next digit (0).

___________
1 | 8.0000
- 8
----
0

Since there are no more digits to bring down, our final result is 8.

Therefore, 7 1/1 is equal to the decimal 8.
