A proper fraction is converted to a decimal equivalent by dividing the denominator into the numerator. True

kondaur [170]

False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.

For example, to evaluate $\frac{8}{15}$ you divide 8 by 15:

$\dfrac{8}{15} = 8\div 15 = 0.5\overline{3}$
