What is the decimal form of 17/200?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.085

The governing concept is decimal representation of a rational number. To make the denominator a power of 10, multiply numerator and denominator by 5, because 200 × 5 = 1000. Thus, 17/200 = (17 × 5)/(200 × 5) = 85/1000 = 0.085. Therefore, option A is correct. The digits must be placed according to thousandths: 85 thousandths is 0.085, not 0.85. Option B would represent 17/1000, while option C is ten times too large. Option D is greater than 1, whereas 17/200 is clearly less than 1 because the numerator is smaller than the denominator. The terminating decimal occurs because the denominator factors only into 2s and 5s.
