How do you convert a fraction into a decimal?

Question

I need to know how to convert a fraction into a decimal and a percent?I need to details please help me?

im in 8th grade and suck at math

Answer 1

to convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator and do long division until you get a remainer of zero:

let's say you're converting 3/4 into a decimal.

Thus you are dividing 4 into 3, since this isn't possible add a 0 and place a decimal into your answer. Thus 30/4 = 7 with a remainder of 2. Add a 0 and divide again. 20/4 = 5.

Therefore, your decimal is 0.75

To convert a decimal into a percent, multiply the decimal by 100.

Thus, 0.75 = 75%

Hope this helps

Answer 2

4 Into A Decimal

Answer 3

To convert a fraction to a decimal

Divide the numerator by the denominator

Example

3/4 = 0.75

1/5 = 0.2

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

To convert the decimal to percent

Multiply the decimal by 100

0.75 x 100 = 75 %

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

To convert Percent to decimal

Divide the percent by 100

75 ÷ 100 = 0.75

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The fraction

Place the 75 percent over 100 and simplify

75/100 = 3/4

25 divides into 75, 3 times and 25 divides into 100, 4 times . = 3/4

75/100 = 3/4

Answer 4

use long division until it starts to repeat (once you get a 0, it will repeat):

For example:


12/2:

12=6•2+0, therefore the answer is 6.

12/24=1/2:

1=0•2+1
1=5•[(0.1)•2]+0, therefore the answer is 0.5

5/4:
5=1•4+1
1=2•(0.1•4)+0.2
0.2=5•(0.01•4)+0, therefore by putting the numbers to the right of the "=" together (with the appropriate decimal point), we get 5/4=1.25


The tricky part is when you are dealing with something like (1/3,1/7,1/11, . . .):

50/7=7•7+1 =====> 50/7=7.x
1=1•(0.1•7)+0.3 ======>50/7=7.1x
0.3=4•(0.01•7)+0.02 ====>50/7=7.14x
0.02=2•(0.001•7)+0.006 ====>50/7=7.142x
0.008=5•(0.0001•7)+0.0004 ====>50/7=7.1428x
0.0004=5•(0.00001•7)+0.00005 ====>50/7=7.14285x
0.00005= 7•(0.000001•7)+0.000001 ====> 50/7=7.142857x

But now we are repeating again, so we can just start putting the 142857 on the end and get:
50/7=7.142857142857142857 . . . or 7.{142857} where the stuff in the {} can be written with one large line over it.

Answer 5

Divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). Put a decimal point right after the denominator, and keep adding zeros. You can keep doing this until it either divides out evenly, you notice a repeating number pattern (2/3 will keep showing .66666666666666666666666666666) or until you've gone as far as you think you need to.

Answer 6

take the numerator divided by the denominator and move to the decimal point to right right 2 times to get a percent.

Answer 7

The earlier answer is correct. Do the long division.

To get a percentage, multiply the result by 100.

PS I see that JSAM came back and answered the second part of your question. Good answer.

Answer 8

LIKE THIS 20 JUST MOVE THE DECIMAL 2 PLACES TO _


100

THE ANSWER IS 0.20

Answer 9

Here is help:
8/3. So u divide 8 into 3. It would have a remainder, so you do this.

2.6
3/8.00
- 6
20
-18
20

So you round six to the nearest number so the answer is: 2.69

Answer 10

take the top number and divide it by the bottom one
