thanks :) and plz help

Answer 1

To evaluate 21/60 as a decimal, divide numerator and denominator by 10 to make the numbers smaller. You then don't have a long division to do.
That gives 2.1 / 6.
Add a zero after the .1, getting 2.10 / 6
Now divide 6 into 2.10, treating it as though it were 210, but placing the decimal point in you answer beneath the decimal point in 2.10, obtaining:
0.35.

Answer 2

60 In Decimals

Answer 3

to change a fraction to a decimal u just divide the top number by the bottom one.
to express 21/60 as a decimal u just divide 21 by 60.
i dont know if this will help u or confuse u even more but the fraction line means the same thing as a divison symbol.

good luck. i promise that it will get easier with practice. i had the same problem when i was younger.

Answer 4

In order to get the decimals from a fraction you have to divide your numerator by your denominator. In other words 21 by 60 which equals .35

Answer 5

All you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. So you divide 21 by 60 and get .35

Answer 6

A fraction just means division. If you have 21/60, that means you need to divide 21 by 60.
Long division. I hope you're not new to this

Answer 7

The answer is .35. Just divide the two numbers as in:

____________
60 | 21.000

60 goes into 21 zero times but goes into 210 three times with a remainder of 300. Sixty goes into 300 5 times so the answer is .35.

Hope that helps.

Answer 8

All you have to do is to divide 21 by 60 to change to decimal. This is straight forward long division, that's all.
.

Answer 9

An easy way to remember is to divide the bottom into the top. So divide ...60 into 21.00 and the answer is .35

Answer 10

try dividing 21 by 60, i think you'll get you answer from that, im not sure though :)
