Answer 1

To convert 2750 to a decimal, we can use long division by dividing 2750 by 100, as we want to place the decimal point two places to the left.

Here's the long division process:

1. Set up the division: 2750 ÷ 100.
2. Begin dividing:
   • 100 goes into 275 two times (2 × 100 = 200).
   • Subtract 200 from 275, which leaves 75.
   • Bring down the next digit (the "0" in 2750), making it 750.
   • 100 goes into 750 seven times (7 × 100 = 700).
   • Subtract 700 from 750, which leaves 50.
   • Bring down the next digit (the last "0"), making it 500.
   • 100 goes into 500 five times (5 × 100 = 500).
   • Subtract 500 from 500, which leaves 0.

Now, after performing the division, we can place the decimal point two positions to the left (because we're dividing by 100):

2750 ÷ 100 = 27.50

Thus, 2750 converted to a decimal is 27.5.

The correct response is 27.5.
