YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DIVIDE FIRST!!
you divide the denominator (the bottom half)
into the numerator numerator (top half)
example: 1/4
Do this with me on paper!! WRITE: 4|1 (the | represents the divide into symbol)
As you can see, 4 can not go into 1 so put a decimal point (dot) behind the one.
Put a decimal point (over the line) above the decimal point behind the one.
Ok. Now put a zero behind the one. Four can go into 10. 4 times 2 equals 8.
So, 4 can go into 10 two times. Put a 2 behind the decimal point (the
decimal point above the line). Under the 10 do subtract 8.
You subtract 8 since 4 times 2 equals 8. 10-8=2. So now you have a
remainder 2. We do not want that. Put another zero behind the
previous zero. Bring down the zero so it is next to the 2. 4 goes
- 8 into 20 how many times? (20 divided by 4, 4 times ___ = 20)
20 divided by 4=5. 4 times 5 =20. So put a 5 next to the 2.
(the 2 above the line).
Put a subtract 20 under the 20. What is 20 minus 20? 0.
.25 is your answer. (This isnt that hard. I just explained it in detail).
If you are good at division. This should be a piece of cake.
Hoped I explained it clearly.
Tell me if it was hard to explain!! (ill improve it)
Put a x below if it was hard to understand. Put a * if it was easy.
To put something in this box u have to click improve. (pleaz dont erase everything i wrote! can u ask me instead?)

1/4 EQUALS .25Just remember this:you divide the denominator (the bottom half)into the numerator numerator (top half)Try these problems on your own (if you have time):12/340/6
16/5
Ask your parents/people who you live with for MORE!!!Thx for reading!
To convert a fraction into a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
For example 1/4:
1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 (1 divided by 4)
= 0.25
In long division this would be calculated as 4 divided into 1:
.... 0.25
.. --------
4 | 1.00
....... 8
..... ---
....... 20
....... 20
....... ---
......... 0
You make a fraction out of a decimal by looking at the number before the decimal, and then you look at the number(s) after the decimal.
To convert at fraction into a decimal, divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator). Example: To convert 4/5 into a decimal: 4 ÷ 5 = .8
First make the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom) then multiply by 100.
