00:00:00.588 --> 00:00:08.091
Let's see if we can write the fraction "11 over 25" (or we can call it "eleven twenty-fifths") to see if we can write that as a decimal

00:00:08.091 --> 00:00:11.237
and we're gonna round it to the nearest thousands place.

00:00:11.237 --> 00:00:14.294
And so another way of viewing this, eleven over twenty-five,

00:00:14.294 --> 00:00:17.329
this is the same thing as eleven divided by twenty-five,

00:00:17.329 --> 00:00:22.680
so we can literally say, we can literally divide 25 into 11 and whatever we get

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:26.503
that is going to be the decimal representation of 11/25.

00:00:26.503 --> 00:00:32.223
And, since we're going to go into the places less than the ones place

00:00:32.223 --> 00:00:35.222
we're gonna go into the tenths place and the hundredths place and the thousandths place,

00:00:35.222 --> 00:00:39.913
let's add some zeroes to this eleven right over here after the decimal

00:00:39.913 --> 00:00:41.529
and now let's start to divide.

00:00:41.529 --> 00:00:44.044
25 doesn't go into 1

00:00:44.044 --> 00:00:45.788
25 doesn't go into 11.

00:00:45.788 --> 00:00:49.309
25 does go into 110.

00:00:49.309 --> 00:00:56.506
So, when 25 goes into 110 four times (4 x 25 is 100), so it goes into it 4 times

00:00:56.506 --> 00:01:00.079
let's keep the decimal up here, so we'll write 0.4

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:08.473
4 times 25 is 100, and now we can subtract: 110 minus 100 is 10.

00:01:08.473 --> 00:01:11.689
And now we can bring down another zero.

00:01:11.689 --> 00:01:23.025
25 goes into 100 exactly four times. 4 x 25 is 100, and then you subtract and you get zero.

00:01:23.025 --> 00:01:27.025
so we actually didn't even have to round this one. This fraction is exactly, this is exactly 0.44.
