To change a fraction to a decimal DIVIDE the denominator into the numerator. Think about it -- a fraction IS a division problem. 1/2 means 1 divided by 2 which is 0.5. Just put a decimal after the numerator whole number and as many 0's as you need.
For 3/8 you are dividing 8 into 3. That's 3.000 / 8 = 0.375.
For 5/9, you get a repeating decimal: 0.5555555....

3/8 is .375 or 37.5%
5/9 is .55556 or 55.56%
what you do is take the numerator which is the top number of the fraction and devide it with the denominator which is the bottom number of the fraction
3/8: you take 3 devide by 8
5/9: you take 5 devide by 9.
its easy and simple. and dont worry ull get the hang of it.
