you divide the top number into the bottom number, so for example , take the fraction 1/2 you do 1 divded by 2 and get .5
3/20 ( 3 divided by 20 = .15 or .2)

Change a fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Example;
In the fraction 1/2 1 = the numerator (Number or how many)
2 = the denominator (Namer)

1 divided by 2 = 1.0 divided by 2 = .5

Similarly 2 /3 changed to a decimal

2 divided by 3 = 2.0000 divided by 3 = .66666

all you need to do is think of the fraction as a division problem for example 1/2 is one divided by 2 so it would be 0.5 and 3/20 would be 3 divided by 20, just remember "top dog gets the house" or the top number goes into the division thing and the bottom number goes on the outside.

You divide. 1 divided by 2

1 / 2 = .5

3 / 20 = .15

turning fractions into decimals is easy. all you do is divide the top number to the bottom number.

ex. 1/2 1 divided by 2 equals .50

in your calculator or brain or paper, write it down and then solve.

always remember in putting fractions to decimals, divide the top number into the bottom number.

Use a calculator , for 1/2 you press (1)(divide)(2)= 0.5
and 3/20 you press (3)(divide)(20)=0.15
