Question

How do you write -13/16 as a decimal?

Answer 1

`-0.8125`

Explanation:

Note that `16=2xx2xx2xx2`.

So dividing by `16` is the same as dividing by `2` four times.

`-13/16 = -6.5/8 = -3.25/4 = -1.625/2 = -0.8125`

Alternatively, just long divide `13/16`...

Then put the minus signs back to get `-13/16 = -0.8125`
