- How do you use a number like 5/8 on a calculator? Sparky and Bob talk about how to easily convert a fraction to a decimal. They work a couple of examples to make sure you understand.
Love the videos, thanks for making things easy.
Thank you very much very helpful
Now I understand decimals I will do my home work and review it because my exam is in October 18,19,2018
thank u, now i know how to tickle the button of calcu.
Here's the manual way using the long division bracket. (This symbol looks like a right parenthesis with a line or bar going from the top of the parenthesis to the right. (Sorry, can't paste an image here.) Converting 3/8 into decimals. STEP 1: The top# or number on the left, goes inside the bracket on the far left corner. The right # or bottom # of the fraction, goes outside the bracket, on the left of that number. It'll look something like this: 8)3 Assume there is a line above the 3 since I can't type one on there. STEP 2: If the number on the inside of the bracket is less than the number on the outside, then place a decimal on the top of the bar on the far left corner. Next, place a decimal followed by a zero to the right of the number on the inside of the bracket. Instead of thinking this number as 3.0, treat it, as if it looks like 30 STEP 3: Find out how many times the left number goes into the new right number without going over. The number on top of the bar should be: .3 at this time. STEP 4: Multiply the number of times the left number went into the new number in the bracket without including the decimals. The answer is 24. Put this number underneath the number inside the bracket as if there were no decimal there. Subtract it and continue to ignore the decimal there. 30-24=6 STEP 5: Since the # outside the bracket is still more than the subtotal inside the bracket, repeat steps 3 & 4, until your subtotal is zero. If that doesn't happen by the time you have three numbers on top of the bar, let that 3rd number, determine what the second number after the decimal will be, on top of the bar. Round off to the next highest number. Instead of .378, it should be .38, which is equal to 3/8. NOTE 😃: If the number on top of your fraction is ever higher than the bottom number, say 4/3, then once you set up the equation, don't enter a decimal until needed. We know that 3 will go into 4 one time without help. You will put the number of times on top of the division bar, which is above the 4. Now multiply that top number with the number on the left outside of the bracket. 1 x 3 = 3. Place this answer under the number inside the bracket. Subtract. 4-3=1. Next: Divide 3 into 1. You can't without adding .0 and treating it as a bigger number. There should be a 1. on top of the bracket and 1.0 inside the bracket for this problem. How many times does 3 go into 10? 3 times. Put a 3 to the right of the decimal on top of the bracket. It should be 1.3 on top of the bracket. Finish out the equation. The final answer is 1.33 (When rounding numbers 4 and below, stick with the number that's there. 6 and above, allows you to go to the next number up. The goal is the quickest and cleanest way to an accurate measurement.)

Thank you and Sparky for this video! I appreciate you for making unique videos, but I think the subject of this video is a very easy one. Your explanations and videos are great and I think you would get much more likes, views, and subscribers by making videos about more complex concepts and problems.
Sepp! We really appreciate your feedback. You really nailed it when you suggested the vernier caliper video. We'd love to hear more ideas!
Thank you! Keep it up :)
Marvelous!!! 🙌...
I thought we were gonna learn it how to do it in our heads :P without a calculator (like the really hard ones). But nice video anyways
Oh, well -- oops. I guess that was a little disappointing. I'm pretty addicted to my calculator.
Ahahah I was like. OMG I am gonna learn how to do this on my head?? :P Btw watched the caliper one and really nice one! I subscribed
I need help on 1/4 13/25
Thank you for the
i came here to see a trike or something 😂😂😂😂
I paused the video, I got .375! : )
