For example, you need to convert one-fourth into a decimal. What you need to do is that you have to divide the top number(1) by the bottom number(4). First, put a decimal point on the answer(because obviously it's going to be a decimal). Put a 0 on the one to make it 1.0(or 10). Don't pay attention to the decimal point because sometimes that can mess you up. 4 goes into 10 2 times because 4 x 2=8. You now have .2 as your answer. 10 - 8= 2 so put a 0 on the 2. 4 goes into 20 5 times because 4x5=20. Your answer is now 0.25.
You use long division.
To express any fraction as a decimal, use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator.
To convert an improper fraction to a decimal, simply do long division or use a calculator to divide. eg. 15/8 = 1.875
To convert a fraction to percent you first convert the fraction to a decimal. To do that we use the method of in/out. The numerator goes inside the division sign and the deniminator goes outside. This will give you a decimal of .71428. Now you can convert the decimal to a percent by moving the decimall to the right 2 places. So, the equivalent percent to 5/7 is 71%.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
You use long division.
The answer depends on the form of the fraction. If it is a decimal fraction, you need to nothing to convert it to a decimal! (?). If it is in the form of a rational fraction, you need to use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator. The division will either come to an end or will go into a repeating loop of digits. The quotient from the division is the decimal equivalent. To convert to a percentage, simply move the decimal point two places to the right - inserting os if required.
To express any fraction as a decimal, use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator.
Use long division to divide 2.0 by 5 to give 0.4 as the answer.

I could use a little help to convert this fraction into it's decimal equivalent.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the denominator into the numerator.
To change .01 into a fraction, we can first write it as a decimal. .01 is the same as 0.01. We then need to convert this decimal into a fraction. To do this, we can use the method for converting any decimal into a fraction. First, we need to multiply 0.01 by 100 to get rid of the decimal point. 100 x 0.01 = 1. Now that we have a whole number and a decimal, we can convert this into a fraction. To do this, we need to place the whole number (1) over the number of decimal places (2). This gives us the fraction 1/100. Therefore, 0.01 can be written as the fraction 1/100.
89 is an integer, not a fraction. The repeated decimal equivalents are 89.000....(repeating) or 88.999... (repeating).
2.16=216/100=54/25 Whenever you want to convert a number to a fraction use this method: write it with no decimal point, and then split it by 1 followed by the number of «0»' s you want.
