Question

Write the following fraction as a decimal: 9/45

Answer 1

To convert the fraction \( \frac{9}{45} \) to a decimal, we can simplify the fraction first.

Both 9 and 45 can be divided by 9:

\[
\frac{9 \div 9}{45 \div 9} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

Now, we can convert \( \frac{1}{5} \) to a decimal.

Dividing 1 by 5 gives:

\[
1 \div 5 = 0.2
\]

Thus, the decimal representation of \( \frac{9}{45} \) is \( 0.2 \).
