Question

How to convert fractions to decimals

Answer 1

To write any fraction as a decimal, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

For example let's write 1/8 as a decimal.

1 ÷ 8 = 0.125

Therefore, 1/8 is equal to 0.125.

Answer 2

Lets use $\frac{20}{24}$ as an example fraction.

The bar in a fraction means "divided by." So, we divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).

20 ÷ 24 = 0.83
