My questions are: "how can I change 23/60 into a decimal. and give my answer to 2dp."??????????

2nd question:for each of these pairs, which is bigger?

4/7 or 36%____________
3/11or 0.29____________
14/24 or 0.57___________

many thanks
Natalie



Hi Natalie,

The way you change  23/60 is by long division. Just divide 60 into 23.

I would apply the same method to your second question. Change the common fractions into decimal fractions by division and then it should be clear which ones are larger. Remember that 36% = 36/100.
