Answer 1

To convert the fraction \(\frac{3}{20}\) into a decimal, you can divide 3 by 20.

When you perform the division:

1. 20 goes into 3 zero times. This means we place a 0 before the decimal point.
2. Add a decimal point and a zero to 3 (making it 30).
3. 20 goes into 30 one time (1), which equals 20. Subtracting gives us 30 - 20 = 10.
4. Bring down another zero (making it 100).
5. 20 goes into 100 five times (5), which equals 100.
6. Subtracting gives us 100 - 100 = 0.

There are no more remainders, so the decimal representation of \(\frac{3}{20}\) is:

\[ 0.15 \]

The decimal \(0.15\) does not have a repeating part.

So, you can write it as:

• Non-repeating part: 15
• Repeating part: (none)

Thus, the final answer is:

0.15 (where the repeating part is empty).
