What Is 11/50 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps
The fraction 11/50 as a decimal is equal to 0.22.
The fraction 11/50 can be converted into a decimal by dividing the numerator 11 by denominator 50. The division results in two place decimal number that consists of 2 that is repeated two times after the decimal point. Let’s have a detailed analysis of how the long division process is done for fraction 11/50.
Here, we are more interested in the division types that result in a Decimal value, as this can be expressed as a Fraction. We see fractions as a way of showing two numbers having the operation of Division between them that result in a value that lies between two Integers.
Now, we introduce the method used to solve said fraction to decimal conversion, called Long Division which we will discuss in detail moving forward. So, let’s go through the Solution of fraction 11/50.
Solution
First, we convert the fraction components i.e., the numerator and the denominator, and transform them into the division constituents i.e., the Dividend and the Divisor respectively.
This can be seen done as follows:
Dividend = 11
Divisor = 50
Now, we introduce the most important quantity in our process of division, this is the Quotient. The value represents the Solution to our division, and can be expressed as having the following relationship with the Division constituents:
Quotient = Dividend $\div$ Divisor = 11 $\div$ 50
This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem. The solution is shown below in figure:
11/50 Long Division Method
We start solving a problem using the Long Division Method by first taking apart the division’s components and comparing them. As we have 11, and 50 we can see how 11 is Smaller than 50, and to solve this division we require that 11 be Bigger than 50.
This is done by multiplying the dividend by 10 and checking whether it is bigger than the divisor or not. And if it is then we calculate the Multiple of the divisor which is closest to the dividend and subtract it from the Dividend. This produces the Remainder which we then use as the dividend later.
Now, we begin solving for our dividend 11, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 110.
We take this 110 and divide it by 50, this can be seen done as follows:
110 $\div$ 50 $\approx$ 2
Where:
50 x 2 = 100
This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 110 – 100 = 10, now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 10 into 100 and solving for that:
100 $\div$ 50 = 2
Where:
50 x 2 = 100
This, therefore, produces another remainder which is equal to 100 – 100 = 0.
Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the two pieces of it as 0.22 = z, with a Remainder equal to 0.
