How Do You Write 8/15 as a Decimal?

To convert the fraction 8/15 into a decimal, you can perform the division of 8 by 15. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Divide 8 by 15.
2. Since 15 does not go into 8, you add a decimal point and a zero, making it 80.
3. Now, divide 80 by 15. 15 goes into 80 five times (15 x 5 = 75).
4. Subtract 75 from 80, which leaves you with 5.
5. Add another zero to make it 50.
6. Divide 50 by 15. 15 goes into 50 three times (15 x 3 = 45).
7. Subtract 45 from 50, which leaves you with 5 again.
8. You can continue this process to get more decimal places, but for most purposes, you can stop here.

So, 8/15 as a decimal is approximately 0.533.
