Does any one know how to change a fraction to a decimal?

Question

the problmem is 6/25

Answer 1

divide 6 by 25, divide the top number by the bottom

Answer 2

If you can use a calculator, fractions are just division problems. So divide 6 by 25.
If you cannot use a calculator, mulitply both the numerator and denominator by 4 so that you get 100 on the bottom and 24 on top. Now read the fraction to yourself " Twenty-four hundredths." How would you write "24 Hundredths" if you were writing a decimal? .24 And Voila! you're done!

Answer 3

Yeah sweetie,

You just divide the fraction and after you would stop for the remainder you would put a decimal at the end of the number your dividing into (the inside #) bring up the decimal to where the answer goes and just keep adding zeros after the decimal on the top. You subtract after bringing down the zero to the # that the outside # divides into. if there's a repeating # on the answer than you would just put a line over the number that repeats in the answer. Does that help? I should come out to 4. 16666 with a line above the 6 showing that it repeats. Remember... show your work! :) Okay... never mind he answer is 0.24 my bad.

Answer 4

You divide 6 by 25.

25 doesn't go into 6 as a whole number so you write the whole number 6 as 6.0 (or 6.00 ... adding zeros as needed until you reach a number that 25 can evenly divide into). Best to forget the decimal point for a while. 25 won't go into 6 or 60 evenly but it will go into 600....24 times. If you put that decimal point back in as 6.00, then the answer is 0.24

Answer 5

OK, first you need to get the SECOND number to change to 100. 25 goes into 100 four times, so multiply the 6 by four to get 24/100. Then just put a 0. in front of it.

0.24. There's your answer.

P.S. if the second number isn't an easy one like 25 (say the problem was 6/45 instead, multiply both numbers by 10 to get 60/450, divide both numbers by WHATEVER MAKES THE SECOND NUMBER INTO 100 (in this case 4.5) to get 13.33333333/100, then do the same thing.

Answer 6

You could multiply the numerator and the denominator by a number which will make the denominator equal 100. In this case it would be 4


6/25 x 4/4 = 24/100 or .24

Answer 7

6/25 is 24/100, or .24, also, with a calculator, you just divide 6 by 25 to get a decimal.

Answer 8

Decimals, Fractions & Percent Decimal to Fraction

ab.cde = 10a + b + c/10 + d/100 + e/1000 = ab(cde/1000)


Fraction to Decimal
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Decimal to Percent
Move the decimal points two places to the right.
Fraction to Percent
Divide the numerator by the denominator. Then move the decimal point two places to the right.

Answer 9

change the problem to a hundreth by multiplying by four for your particular problem. Then the top number is your answer with 2 places to the left. ex. 3/5 changed to 60/100 then you move the decimal two places to the left and drop the 100 .60 is the example answer your answer would be .24

Answer 10

Turn it into a long division problem (it'll be a bit hard to see here)...

6/25

25 goes in to 6 zero times, so add a zero
25 goes into 60 , 2 times. 60 - (2 * 25) = 10, add a zero = 100
25 goes in 100, 4 times...no remainder

.24 = 6/25
