Use long division to convert 11/20 to a decimal. (1 point)

Answer 1

To convert the fraction 11/20 to a decimal using long division, we can follow these steps:

1. Set up the long division equation with 11 as the dividend and 20 as the divisor.
_______
20| 11

2. Since 20 cannot divide into 1, we bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 1. Now we have 11 as the new dividend.

_______
20| 11
0

3. We can divide 20 into 11 once, which gives us 0.5. However, we need to add a decimal point to indicate that we are dealing with a decimal number.

_______
20| 11
- 10
1

4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 0.

_______
20| 11
- 10
10
1

5. We can divide 20 into 10 once, which gives us 0.5.

_______
20| 11
- 10
10
- 10
0

6. Since there is no more digit to bring down, we have reached the end of the division. The division result is 0.55.

Therefore, 11/20 as a decimal is 0.55.
