When dividing, remainders are the same as decimals by Diana Goyder

Yes, because you can make remainder into fractions and fractions can be converted in to decimals.

I think It is not true because 12r3 is not the same as 12.3. If you wanted a decinmal remainder it would be 12.75

yes and no because decimals and remainders are both the leftovers from the quotient, however decimals are more accurate than remainders because remainders can't go on forever but decimals can because once you add the zeros the number itself doesn't change at all.

The remainder and decimal can be converted to a fraction . They are both the same when they are converted to fractions. Their value is the same

In my opinion the statement is sometime true because sometimes you need to convert the remainder to get the decimal because if it is 71/8=8r7 you cannot put 8.7 as that would be like 70% of eight even though it is not on the other hand sometimes you can do it for example you can do it in 125/10=12r5 you can put 12.5 because the divisor is 10. Here is an example of a random equation: 28/5=5r3=5.6 so in this one you can get the decimal easily because it is a factor of 10 so it is a bit easier and all the factors of ten are really easy to work with because ten is a factor of a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, etc. Decimals basically run the decimals and therefor any numbers which are a factor of a multiple of 10 or ten are some of the easiest numbers to work with. Others are harder though like 100/3=33.33333 and that is NOT an easy number to work with, same with 6.66666666 and 9.99999999. I still think that the statement applies sometimes and my understanding of it has just improved.

Yes, because you can convert decimals into remainders and remainders into fractions.But sometimes it won't work, eg
107 / 7 = 15r 2 or 107/7 = 15.285714 etc

I think this is true because you know that you can change fractions into decimals and you can change remainders into fractions so then you can change a remainder into a fraction then change the fraction into a decimal and then you have a remainder as a decimal. Eg:
6/505

yes, because the remainders are the left over and  the same with decimals the only difference is that with decimals you can go on for ever

I think they are because you can convert them into fractions and then into decimals.and it is like it is the but it can be wrong sometimes because the decimals are not accurate.

When dividing, remainders are the same as decimals... I think decimals are the same as remainders because you can convert them, both into decimals and fractions. After doing the math, my thinking changed. Now I think that: Dividing, remainders are the same as decimals, No it only sometimes

I think it is always true because the remainders are leftovers of the number being divided and decimals would sort of be the same because they are not whole numbers

I think remainders are the same as decimals because decimals and remainders are represented in a different way but the value is the same. E.g. 91 divided by 4 = 22 3/4 and if you add the zeros to find the decimal you get 22.75. 75/100 and 3/4 are the same.

yes, because I think remainders are what is left from the answer when you devide/multiply/add/subtract, and decimals are the number that is not whole which is added on to the answer.I also think they are the same because when you devide you can put the answer as a decimal or as a remainder!

Adi

I think yes and no, because remainders can't always be accurate eg rounding may be wrong 0.567399625436.

I think that the value is the same but the number changes.So the decimal is not the same number as the remainder or the fraction but it is for the precentage.

I think that decimals and remainders are not exactly the same thing. they mean the same thing but they are not the same numbers.
Eg:
22^R3 = 22.75
22.3 X 22.75

I still think the same thing even though it I not exactly the same but they mean the same Eg: 22.75 = 22^R3

I think it's true and false because sometimes a remainder could equal the same as a decimal but sometimes it could not be accurate

I think it is sometimes true because If you write remainder it means it finished but If you write decimal to the answer might be not finish. But basically they are not use as whole numbers. And If you make them fraction you can find the same answers. But the numbers can be different.

Logang92 — 2017-11-29 09:26:00 UTC

My thinking is still the same. It is the same but it is in different numbers

Not really because they might be the same value like ?.75 and ? r3 but the numbers themselves are completely different.

Lorenzo

No I think they are not the same because in remainders you can only do r1 but in decimals
you can do .153 .
