First lets start with something basic: 3 divided by 4.

Well first you put a zero (because you can't divide it and get a whole number) then a decimal point. After that multiply 3 by 10 and get 30 then do 30 divided by 4 which is 7r2. Then you put the 7 on the deimal point and multiply 2 by 10 which is 20 then do 20 didided by 4 which is 5 then the answer is 0.75.

For example:

3/4=0.75 Working out: Put a 0. then 3*10 (because 4 is bigger than 3) then 30/4=7r2 then put the whole number which is seven on the decimal point then it becomes 0.7 then because you still have the 2 multiply it by 10 which is 20. Then do 20/4 which is 5 then because 5 is the whole number put it on the decimal point then it's 0.75.

How do you make the number of fraction more small?

You look for common factors in the numerator and denominator. Then you divide both by the common factor. For example, in 6/9, both numbers are divisible by 3. If you divide them by 3, you get the equivalent fraction 2/3. Or you can divide the denominator and the numerator (the bottom and top numbers) by the same number. eg. 2/8 could become 1/4 because I divided the (first) fraction by 2
