How do I go about Converting 8/9 to a decimal fraction. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
8/9 = 0.88888888 = 0.889
Well, let's have some fraction fun, shall we? To convert 8/9 to a decimal fraction, simply divide 8 by 9. It's like asking me to divide a pizza into 9 pieces and then asking how many slices you get if you take 8 of them. The answer is 8/9, which is approximately 0.889 when rounded to the nearest thousandth. So, I guess you could say that 8/9 is pretty close to being a "point eight-eighty-nine or not!"
To convert a fraction to a decimal fraction, you need to divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). In this case, you want to convert 8/9 to a decimal fraction rounded to the nearest thousandth.
The calculation would be:
8 ÷ 9 = 0.888...
To round to the nearest thousandth, you need to look at the fourth decimal place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is 4 or less, you round down.
In this case, the fourth decimal place is 8, which is greater than 5. Therefore, you would round up the thousandth place, so the final answer is approximately 0.889.
