Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Jacob is trying to find the decimal equivalent of the fraction 120\frac{1}{20}.
2. The process involves performing long division of 1 by 20.
3. The solution will involve determining the digits of the decimal representation.

STEP 2

1. Set up the division problem.
2. Perform the division to find the decimal equivalent.
3. Record the digits of the decimal.

STEP 3

Set up the division problem by writing 11 as the dividend and 2020 as the divisor.

STEP 4

Since 11 is less than 2020, we need to add a decimal point and zeros to continue the division. Write 1.000...1.000... and place the decimal point in the quotient.

STEP 5

Determine how many times 2020 goes into 1010. It goes 00 times, so write 00 in the quotient.

STEP 6

Bring down another 00 to make it 100100. Determine how many times 2020 goes into 100100. It goes 55 times, so write 55 in the quotient.

STEP 7

Multiply 20×5=10020 \times 5 = 100 and subtract from 100100 to get a remainder of 00.

STEP 8

The division is complete, and the decimal equivalent of 120\frac{1}{20} is 0.050.05.
The digit to enter in the box is:
0.05\boxed{0.05}
