Exercise 7.4                                                                               page: 7.4 
1. Express the following fractions as decimals: 
(i) 23/10 
(ii) 139/100 
(iii) 4375/1000 
(iv) 12 1/2 
(v) 75 1/4 
(vi) 25 1/8 
(vii) 18 3/24 
(viii) 39 7/35 
(ix) 15 1/25 
(x) 111/250 
Solution: 
 
(i) 23/10 
It can be written as 
= 20 + 3/10 
We get 
= 20/10 + 3/10 
By addition 
= 2 + 3/10 
So we get 
= 2.3 
 
(ii) 139/100 
It can be written as 
= 100 + 30 + 9/100 
We get 
= 100/100 + 30/100 + 9/100 
By addition 
= 1 + 3/10 + 9/100 
So we get 
= 1.39 
 
(iii) 4375/1000 
It can be written as 
= 4000 + 300 + 70 + 5/1000 
We get 
= 4000/1000 + 300/1000 + 70/1000 + 5/1000 
By addition 
= 4 + 3/10 + 7/100 + 5/1000 
So we get 
= 4.375 
 
(iv) 12 1/2 
It can be written as 
= 12 + 1/2 
Multiplying and dividing by 5 to get denominator as 10
