Convert the fraction into a decimal
To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).
For example, if the fraction is 3/4, divide 3 by 4:
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
So, 3/4 as a decimal is 0.75.
To convert a fraction into a decimal, you can divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). Here are the steps:
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
2. If the division is exact (no remainder), then the resulting decimal is a terminating decimal.
3. If the division has a remainder, then the resulting decimal is a repeating decimal.
4. Keep dividing until you get the desired level of precision or until the repeating pattern becomes evident.
For example, let's convert the fraction 3/4 into a decimal:
1. Divide 3 by 4:
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
So, the decimal equivalent of 3/4 is 0.75.
