11/20 as a Decimal
11/20 = 0.55
11/20 as a decimal is 0.55.
Step by step
- Divide 11 by 20: 0 whole (so the answer starts 0.), remainder 11.
- Bring down a 0: 110 ÷ 20 = 5, remainder 10.
- Bring down a 0: 100 ÷ 20 = 5, remainder 0.
- Result: 11/20 = 0.55.
Shortcut: 20 divides evenly into 100, so multiply the top and bottom by 5: 11/20 = 55/100 = 0.55. This works for any fraction whose denominator has only 2s and 5s as prime factors, which is why 11/20 gives a terminating decimal.

How it works
A fraction means division: the numerator (top) divided by the denominator (bottom). Use long division, adding zeros after the decimal point until the remainder is zero or a remainder repeats. If the simplified denominator has only 2 and 5 as prime factors, the decimal terminates; otherwise it repeats forever, and the repeating digits are marked with a bar.
