To convert the fraction \( \frac{31}{40} \) into a decimal, you can divide the numerator (31) by the denominator (40):

\[ 31 \div 40 = 0.775 \]

Thus, \( \frac{31}{40} \) as a decimal is \( 0.775 \).

edit the repeating and non-repeating part of the decimal

The decimal representation of the fraction \( \frac{31}{40} \) is \( 0.775 \). Since this is a terminating decimal, there are no repeating parts.

We can denote the decimal as follows:

  • Non-repeating part: \( 0.775 \)
  • Repeating part: None

Since there is no part that repeats, the decimal can simply be expressed as \( 0.775 \).

Convert the fraction below into a decimal
7/30

To convert the fraction \( \frac{7}{30} \) into a decimal, you can divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (30):

\[ 7 \div 30 = 0.2333\ldots \]

This gives us a repeating decimal of \( 0.2333\ldots \), which can also be expressed as \( 0.2\overline{3} \) to indicate that the digit 3 repeats indefinitely.

  • Non-repeating part: \( 0.2 \)
  • Repeating part: \( 3 \) (denoted as \( \overline{3} \))

So, \( \frac{7}{30} \) as a decimal is \( 0.2\overline{3} \).
