Question

How do you write 11 39/100 as a decimal?

Answer 1

`11.39`

Explanation:

Keeping the whole integer `11` aside for now, we consider the fraction `39/100`. This can be written also as:

`39.00/100`

since the addition of two zeroes after the decimal does not change the value.

Now, when dividing any number by a multiple of ten (`10`), the method is simply to shift the decimal point to the left for every zero in the denominator.

Hence:

`39.00/100` becomes `.3900/1` which is the same as `.39`

Adding this to the whole integer `11` we get:

`11.39`
