Divide the top # by the bottom. For Example: 4/7=0.571
Also if you need to change a percent to a decimal,then move the decimal two spaces to the right 45%= .45 5%= 0.05
Good Luck

Divide the numerator by the denominator i.e. 1/2 = 2 goes into 1 how many times?=0.5
65/100 = how many times does 100 go into 65?=0.65
2 3/7=7*2+3/7=how many times does 7 go into 17?=2.4285=2.43
numerator is the top number of a fraction. Conversely, the denominator is the bottom number. In a mixed number you must multiply the denominator times the whole number then add to that the numerator. Put that over the original denominator then ... divide the numerator by the denominator.

Divide the top number by the bottom number and you get a decimal number. For a proper fraction, (no whole number in front of it), the decimal value will always be less than one. Like 0.xxxx

Ex. 1/4
1 divided by 4= .25
7/8
7 divided by eight is .875
hope this helps
