Correct Answer

0.625

Explanation

5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts.

As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.)

Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6)

Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20.

Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62)

Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40.

Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625)

Therefore, the decimal value of $\frac{5}{8}$ is 0.625.

Now find a decimal value of $(\frac{11}{17})$ and Discuss your at Discuss.
