Question

What's 73/2 in decimal form?

Answer 1

36.5

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to convert a fraction into decimal form:
`@` Converting the denominator to a multiple of 10(10, 100,10000 etc.)
`@` By long division : See this video for explanation - Converting fractions to decimals

We will attempt this question using the first method.

To convert the denominator, which is 2 in this case, to 10, we multiply it by 5.

For the fraction to have the same value, the numerator also has to be divided by 5.

So, `73/2 = (73xx5)/(2xx5) = 365/10 = 36.5`
