What is 5 6/16 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 6/16 as a decimal is
5.375
Exact, terminating: 6/16 = 3/8 · denominator 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 has only 2s and 5s · 3 decimal places
5 6/16: whole part, then 6 ÷ 16
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 16 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 60 | 3 × 16 + 12 | 3 |
| 12 | 120 | 7 × 16 + 8 | 7 |
| 8 | 80 | 5 × 16 + 0 | 5 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 3 steps → 0.375 ends.
5 + 0.375 = 5.375
