To convert 29 to a decimal using long division, you divide 29 by 1:

_____
1 | 29

The quotient is 29 and there is no remainder. Therefore, the decimal approximation of 29 is 29.0.

To convert 29 to a decimal using long division, follow these steps:

1. Divide 29 by 10:
10 | 29
-20
9

2. Add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend:
10 | 29.0
-20
9

3. Bring down the next digit from the dividend (which is a zero):
10 | 29.0
-20
9 0

4. Divide 90 by 10:
10 | 29.0
-20
9 0
- 80
10

5. The remainder is 10, and the quotient so far is 2. Therefore, the decimal approximation of 29 is 2.9.
