Exercise 8 Page 267

Start by writing the given mixed number as a fraction. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator.

9.375

Practice makes perfect

We want to write the given mixed number as a decimal. 9 38 We will first rewrite it as a fraction.

9 38

▼

Rewrite 9 38 as 75/8

a bc=a* c+b/c

9* 8+3/8

Identity Property of Multiplication

72+3/8

Add terms

75/8

We found that 9 38 is equal to 75 8 when it is written as a fraction. This means that we actually want to find the quotient 75÷ 8. We find the quotient by dividing the numerator of the fraction by its denominator. Let's do it!

We found that 758 written as a decimal is 9.375. Since we previously found that 9 38 is equal to 758, we can say that 9 38 written as a decimal is 9.375. 9 38= 757=9.375
