Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To convert 4/5 to a decimal using long division, follow the steps below:

1. Write the fraction 4/5 as the division problem: 4 ÷ 5.
2. Start by dividing 4 by the first digit of the divisor (5). The first digit is 5.
3. Divide 4 by 5:
- 5 goes into 4, 0 times. Write a 0 above the line.
- Multiply 0 by 5 and write the result (0) below the line.
- Subtract 0 from 4 and write the result (4) below the line.
4. Bring down the next digit (0) next to the quotient (0) below the line.
5. Divide 40 (the new dividend) by 5.
- 5 goes into 40, 8 times. Write an 8 above the line.
- Multiply 5 by 8 and write the result (40) below the line.
- Subtract 40 from 40, which gives 0. Write 0 below the line.
6. Since the remainder is 0, the long division is completed.
7. The quotient is the whole number part of the decimal representation of 4/5, which is 0.
8. Therefore, 4/5 as a decimal is 0.8.

So, 4/5 as a decimal is 0.8.

To convert 4/15 to a decimal using long division, follow the steps below:

1. Write the fraction 4/15 as the division problem: 4 ÷ 15.
2. Start by dividing 4 by the first digit of the divisor (15). The first digit is 1.
3. Divide 4 by 1:
- 1 goes into 4, 4 times. Write a 4 above the line.
- Multiply 1 by 4 and write the result (4) below the line.
- Subtract 4 from 4 and write the result (0) below the line.
4. Since the remainder is 0, the long division is completed.
5. The quotient is the whole number part of the decimal representation of 4/15, which is 4.
6. To find the decimal part, bring down a 0 next to the quotient (4) below the line.
7. Divide 0 (the new dividend) by 15.
- 15 does not go into 0. Write a 0 above the line.
- Multiply 15 by 0 and write the result (0) below the line.
- There is no remainder, so the long division is completed.
8. The decimal part is 0.
9. Therefore, 4/15 as a decimal is 4.0.

So, 4/15 as a decimal is 4.0.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To convert the fraction 4/5 to a decimal using long division, you would follow these steps:

1. Write down the fraction as a long division problem: 4 ÷ 5.

0.
-----
5 | 4

2. Start dividing: How many times does 5 go into 4? The answer is 0.

0.
-----
5 | 4

3. Write 0 as the quotient above the division line and bring down the next digit, which is 0.

0.0
-----
5 | 4 0

4. Now, divide 5 by 40. The answer is 8.

0.08
-----
5 | 4 0
4 0

5. Multiply 5 by 8, which gives you 40. Subtract 40 from 40, and the remainder is 0.

0.08
-----
5 | 4 0
- 4 0
-----
0

6. Since the remainder is 0, the division is complete.

Therefore, the fraction 4/5 as a decimal is 0.8.

Answer 5

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

Step 1: Write the fraction as a division problem, with the numerator (the top number) as the dividend and the denominator (the bottom number) as the divisor. For the fraction 4/5, write it as 4 ÷ 5.

Step 2: Perform long division by dividing the numerator (4) by the denominator (5).

__________________
5 | 4.0
-
4

Step 3: Since 5 does not divide evenly into 4, we need to add a decimal point to the quotient.

__________________
5 | 4.0
-
4
-
20

Step 4: Bring down a zero (0) next to the remainder (20) and continue the division process.

Step 5: Divide 20 by 5 to get the new quotient. The result is 4.

Step 6: Since there is no remainder, the division process ends.

Step 7: The quotient obtained is 4, so the fraction 4/5 is equal to 0.8 as a decimal.

Therefore, 4/5 is equal to 0.8 as a decimal.
