How do you write -13/16 as a decimal?

Answer 1

Roman Alvarez

#-0.8125#

Note that #16=2xx2xx2xx2#.

So dividing by #16# is the same as dividing by #2# four times.

#-13/16 = -6.5/8 = -3.25/4 = -1.625/2 = -0.8125#

Alternatively, just long divide #13/16#...

Then put the minus signs back to get #-13/16 = -0.8125#
