To turn a fraction into a decimal, you divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
Step-by-step process:
-
Identify the fraction: For example, 34\frac{3}{4}43.
-
Divide the numerator by the denominator:
3÷4=0.753\div 4=0.753÷4=0.75. -
Result: The decimal equivalent of 34\frac{3}{4}43 is 0.75.
Example:
- 12=1÷2=0.5\frac{1}{2}=1\div 2=0.521=1÷2=0.5
- 58=5÷8=0.625\frac{5}{8}=5\div 8=0.62585=5÷8=0.625
If the division doesn’t end evenly, you may get a repeating decimal (like 13=0.333...\frac{1}{3}=0.333...31=0.333...). Let me know if you want help with specific fractions!
