How to convert numbers like 5/8 into decimal​

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Convert fractions into decimals

To convert fractions to decimals, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator since the line in the fraction indicates a division sign. Which is only used when converting to decimals or algebraic expressions.

So in a case like 5/8, all we need to do is divide 5 by 8.

5/8

0.625

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
