Question
Write the following as decimals:
$40\frac{2}{5}$
✓
Answer
$40\frac{2}{5}+40+\frac{2}{5}$
To write in decimal, we need to make the denominator 10 by multiplying it by a number. But to maintain the value of the fractoin, we should also multiply the numerator by the same number. Thus we get,
$=40+\frac{2\times2}{5\times2}$
$=40+\frac{4}{10}$
$=40.4$
