How to change a fraction to a decimal?
When change fractions to decimals, it takes one easy step. You
simply divide the numerator by the denominator. In other words, you
divide the top number by the bottom number. This method doesn't
include mixed numbers. When you get a repeating decimal as your
answer, that means your denominator is an odd number. When you get
a repeating decimal for your answer, simply put a bar above the
repeating number/numbers. This shows that this number/numbers
continues on forever. Mixed numbers can be changed to a decimal
after transforming in to an improper fraction. To do this, you must
multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add the
numerator. For example, 5 3/4, you multiply 4 by 5, then add three
to get the answer of 23/4. Then you simply divide 23 by 4 and
receive the decimal of 5.75.
