SSAT Elementary Level Quantitative › How to find the decimal equivalent of a fraction
What is the equivalent decimal of this fraction?
Two-tenths would be written with a 2 in the tenths place value spot.
The numbers before the decimal would be represented with a zero, and all numbers beyond the two would also be zeros.
Another approach is to use long division as follows.
Since the two is inside the division sign, add a decimal and a zero in order to continue the division process.
From here, calculate how many times does ten go into twenty.
Therefore,
.80
.50
.08
.40
.20
Divide the numerator by the denominator:
