Please help me simplify 12/75 to a decimal
\(\frac{12}{75}=\frac{12:3}{75:3}=\frac{4}{25}=\frac{4\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{16}{100}=0.16\)
For this case we have the following fraction:
\(\frac{12}{75}\)
Dividing the numerator and the denominator between 3 we have:
\(\frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{75}{3}}\)
Then, multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4 we have:
\(\frac{4}{25} = \frac{4}{25} *\frac{4}{4}\)
We observe that we have a number divided by 100. Therefore, we must move the comma two units to the left:
\(\frac{16}{100} = 0.16\)
Answer:
The number in its decimal form is given by:
\(\frac{12}{75} = 0.16\)
