Solution: 130/15 as a decimal is 8.67
Methods
Explanation using the division method:
A fraction is usually split into two parts: the first part is the number on top, called the numerator; and the second part is the number on the bottom, called the denominator. These are both separated by a line called the “divisor line”. We can use the division method help to solve this question: to get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 130 by the denominator 15 (which you can enter in any calculator):
130 (numerator) ÷ 15 (denominator) = 8.67
And finally, you get 8.67 as your answer when you convert 130/15 to a decimal.
