What is 5 9/50 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 5 9/50 as a decimal is
5.18
Exact, terminating: denominator 50 = 2 × 5 × 5 has only 2s and 5s · 2 decimal places
5 9/50: whole part, then 9 ÷ 50
Whole part 5 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 50 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 90 | 1 × 50 + 40 | 1 |
| 40 | 400 | 8 × 50 + 0 | 8 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 2 steps → 0.18 ends.
5 + 0.18 = 5.18
