How do you turn fractions into decimals?

Answer 1

heyy all u do is if theres something like 3/4 u divide 4 into 3 and since it doesnt go u put a 0 on top and the a decimal and then add a zero to the 3 which is now 30 and 4 goes into 30 7 times and then u get 28 so u subtract 30 from 28 and now u have 2 so u bring down a zero and u get 20 now 4 goes into 20 5 times and now the answer is 0.75 do u get it?

Answer 2

A fraction is nothing more than a division problem. For instance, 1/10 or one-tenth is really one divided by 10. If you do the long division problem, you will get 0.1 which is one tenth. Some problems will not resolve into a decimal that ends, for instance, 1/3 = 0.333333..... the 3's go on forever, usually this is indicated by placing a bar over the 3. Some repeat in other ways like 9/11 = .8181818181.... when you see the pattern, you are done with the problem.

Answer 3

Sorry, you should not 'turn' fractions into decimals.

In maths, we due with values. Values are conceptual, but can be expressed in written form. Using Arabic number system is a way.

However, even in this system, there are numerous way to represent a value.
Decimal is the fundamental representation in this system.
Using fraction, a value can be expressed as a ratio, using two other numbers.

Thus, if you try to find out how to 'turn', or 'change', a fraction to decimal, I think you are on the wrong track. We are not doing magic, or rearrangement exercise here, to achieve the decimal 'look' of a fraction.

Instead, find out how to expressed any value in the various forms. Step 1 find out what is the value represented by the fraction. Step 2 is to write this value in its decimal representation.

However, since the decimal representation is the fundamental representation and it is used in most calculation, step 2 is trivial, or un-noticeable here.

Answer 4

Take 1/3 for example
devide 3 into 1 wont go put a decimal point and add a zero to the one to make it 10. Devide 3 into 10 goes three times with one over put a three to the left of the decimal point add a zero to the 1 to make 10. repaet the process. you get .33333.
Do the same proces to 1/2 you get .5 OK :)

Answer 5

You divide the top number or numerator by the bottom or denominator that turn it into a decimal number.

for example :

1/3= .3333....

1/2 = .5

1/4 = .25

7/3 = 2.333333...

1/12= 0.08333.....

104348 / 33215= 3.1415926539

22/7 = 3.14285714

Answer 6

jsut divide the fraction. If its 2/3 say 2 divided by 3....i think ull get like .6 repeating

Answer 7

you divide it..... that is what the " / " symbol in the fractions means.... divide. it is just alot easier to write 1/8 versus .125 There is not any relation because you cannot easily visualize .125 of something, but you can visualize 1/8 of something pretty easily.

Answer 8

3/7 for example
divide 3 by 7 (on your calculator)

Answer 9

as an occasion 0.2 or 2 10th.then the quantity interior the spectacular are tens, thousands, thousands, and so on. the quantity in left are tenths, thousands, and so on.2 is a tenths, the respond is two/10. .03 the respond is 3/a hundred.

Answer 10

1/2 is a fraction.
divide 1 by 2
answer is .5
.5 is a decimal.
simple, is it not?
