Exercise 21 Page 65

1.0416

Practice makes perfect

We want to write the given fraction as a decimal number. 25/24To do so, recall that 25 24 means 25÷ 24. Therefore, we will divide the numerator by the denominator. Let's do it!

$25 \div 24 $

We can see that the pattern starts to repeat itself after a few steps. This means that the decimal is a repeating decimal. We can write it using bar notation. Remember, the bar goes over the decimal part that repeats itself. 1.041666... = 1.0416 We found that 2525 written as a decimal is 1.0416.
