6 7/15 as a decimal using long division
To convert the mixed number 6 7/15 to a decimal using long division, follow these steps:
1. Write the whole number part, 6, as the leftmost digit of the quotient.
6
2. Multiply the denominator, 15, by the whole number part, 6, to get 6 x 15 = 90. Subtract 90 from the numerator, 7, and write the result, 7 - 90 = -83, as the next digit of the quotient.
6 - 83
3. In order to continue the division, we need to add a decimal point after the whole number part.
6. - 83
4. Bring down the next digit, which is 0 from the numerator, and divide 0 by 15 to get 0. Write this as the next digit of the quotient.
6. 0
5. Multiply the denominator, 15, by the result, 0, to get 0 x 15 = 0. Subtract 0 from the numerator, 0, and write this as the next digit of the quotient.
6. 0 0
6. Bring down the next digit, which is also 0 from the numerator, and divide 0 by 15 to get 0. Write this as the next digit of the quotient.
6. 0 0 0
7. We have reached the end of the division process, since the numerator, 0, cannot be further divided. Therefore, the final quotient is 6 7/15 as a decimal is 6.000
