Question

How do you write 18/72 as a decimal?

Answer 1

`0.25`

Explanation:

Simplify down as far as you can. Both `18` and `72` are divisible by `18`, so the fraction becomes `1/4`.

Then do `1` divided by four, or if it is easier `1` divided by `2` and then `2` again, resulting in a decimal of `0.25`.
