To solve this problem, all we have to remember is that
fractions also mean division. Therefore this means that:
4 / 7 = 4 divided by 7
We can use either a calculator to solve for this or do the
long division method of division (your choice). Now to solve this simply, I
used the calculator and got the answer:
4 / 7 = 0.571428571
However, the problem asked us to round this to the nearest
thousandth. We know that the decimal places are:
0.(tenths)(hundredths)(thousandths)
So we are to round this into 3 decimal numbers which gives
us:
4 / 7 = 0.571
