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
-
and we're gonna round it to the nearest thousands place.
-
And so another way of viewing this, eleven over twenty-five,
-
this is the same thing as eleven divided by twenty-five,
-
so we can literally say, we can literally divide 25 into 11 and whatever we get
-
that is going to be the decimal representation of 11/25.
-
And, since we're going to go into the places less than the ones place
-
we're gonna go into the tenths place and the hundredths place and the thousandths place,
-
let's add some zeroes to this eleven right over here after the decimal
-
and now let's start to divide.
-
25 doesn't go into 1
-
25 doesn't go into 11.
-
25 does go into 110.
-
So, when 25 goes into 110 four times (4 x 25 is 100), so it goes into it 4 times
-
let's keep the decimal up here, so we'll write 0.4
-
4 times 25 is 100, and now we can subtract: 110 minus 100 is 10.
-
And now we can bring down another zero.
-
25 goes into 100 exactly four times. 4 x 25 is 100, and then you subtract and you get zero.
-
so we actually didn't even have to round this one. This fraction is exactly, this is exactly 0.44.
