Question

What is 18/25 converted into a decimal

Answer 1

To do it without a calculator you would first want to get the denominator to be 100. 
To do this you would have to multiply both the top and bottom by 4
So now you have 72/100. You would then divide 72 by 100. To do this you simply move the decimal left two place, and you would get .72

Answer 2

In order to write $\frac{18}{25}$ as a decimal, we need to find a fraction equivalent to $\frac{18}{25}$ with 100 in the denominator. We can multiply the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{18}{25}$ by 4 and we will get the equivalent fraction $\frac{72}{100}$. Remember that the hundredths place is two places to the right of the decimal point so we can write $\frac{72}{100}$ as 0.72

Therefore, 18/25 is equivalent to 0.72.
