How do I convert fractions to decimals?

Answer 1

The easiest way to convert a fraction to a decimal is to divide the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom)

For example, to convert 1/2 to a decimal, divide 1 by 2. The result is .5

Another example is 3/8. Divide the 8 into the 3. The result would be 0.375

Answer 2

You simply divide the numerator by the denominator. For example 3/5 is equal to .6
