To convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{4} \) to a decimal, you can divide 3 by 4.

\[
3 \div 4 = 0.75
\]

So, \( \frac{3}{4} \) as a decimal is \( 0.75 \).
convert the following fraction to a decimal 2/-5
GPT-4o mini
To convert the fraction \( \frac{2}{-5} \) to a decimal, you can divide 2 by -5.

\[
2 \div -5 = -0.4
\]

So, \( \frac{2}{-5} \) as a decimal is \( -0.4 \).
convert the following fraction to a decimal 673/20
GPT-4o mini
To convert the fraction \( \frac{673}{20} \) to a decimal, you divide 673 by 20.

\[
673 \div 20 = 33.65
\]

So, \( \frac{673}{20} \) as a decimal is \( 33.65 \).
which if these statements are true about the decimal form of the number shown 25/225

A: it is neither a terminating decimal nor a repeating decimal

B: it is both a terminating decimal and a repeating decimal

C: it is a terminating decimal

D: it is a repeating decimal
GPT-4o mini
To determine the nature of the decimal form of the fraction \( \frac{25}{225} \), we can first simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{25}{225} = \frac{1}{9}
\]

Next, we convert \( \frac{1}{9} \) to decimal form:

\[
1 \div 9 = 0.1111\ldots
\]

This decimal \( 0.1111\ldots \) continues indefinitely with the digit '1' repeating.

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

A: **It is neither a terminating decimal nor a repeating decimal** - **False**
B: **It is both a terminating decimal and a repeating decimal** - **False**
C: **It is a terminating decimal** - **False**
D: **It is a repeating decimal** - **True**

The only true statement about the decimal form of \( \frac{25}{225} \) is **D: it is a repeating decimal**.
convert the following fraction to a decimal 9/-12
GPT-4o mini
To convert the fraction \( \frac{9}{-12} \) to a decimal, you can divide 9 by -12.

\[
9 \div -12 = -0.75
\]

So, \( \frac{9}{-12} \) as a decimal is \( -0.75 \).
