how do i convert a fraction to a decimal?

Answer 1

Just divide the number on top (numerator) by the number of the bottom (denominator) on a calculator or on paper.

1/4

1 divided by 4 = .25

Answer 2

Take the bottom number and divide it into the top number.1/2=1 divided by 2 2 into 1 Write the 2 than draw the divide bar with a line on the left of it and put the 1 inside the bracket.Now put a decimal point right after the 1. like this 1. and put a decimal point directly above this decimal point on top of the dividing bracket. Now put a zero after the 1 in the bracket. 1.0 ,Now 2 goes into 1.0 .5 times .See? Yes use this for any fraction 3/4 is 4 goes into 3.0 =.75 and so on.

Answer 3

Divide the bottom number into the top number.

Ex: 3/4 =.75

4 does not go into 3, but goes into 30, 7 times.
remainder 2
4 goes into 25 5 times

You set it up just like a whole number division,
but the numbers are to the right of the decimal point.

Answer 4

To convert fractions to decimals, simply divide the top number by the bottom number.

1/4 = 1 divided by 4 = 0.25

Answer 5

The only way that works for all fractions is to do the division - compute the numerator divided by denominator - and express the result with decimals.

Answer 6

Without a calculator or long division if the denominator is a multiple or can multiply into ten then that helps. Ex) 3/5 = 6/10 (just multiply the top and bottom by 2) and 6/10 is six tenths or 0.6. Ex) 6/40 = 1.5/10 (divide top and bottom by 4) which equals 0.15.

Answer 7

divide the numerator by the denominator
( the top number by the bottom number)

1/2
would be 1 divided by 2
= .5

Answer 8

in other words, the top by bottom ^__^

Ex. 1/4 equals 1 divided by 4, which equals 0.25

Answer 9
