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.

What is 7 over 5 as a percent?
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%.

What is the process of changing a fraction to a decimal or to a percentage?
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.

How do you change .01 to a fraction?
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.
How do you use long division to find a repeated decimal equivalency for 89?
89 is an integer, not a fraction. The repeated decimal equivalents are 89.000....(repeating) or 88.999... (repeating).
What is an everyday example where a fraction is impossible to use you have to use a decimal?
There is no such example. If you cannot use an exact fraction then there will not be an exact decimal that you can use instead. And, if you are using an approximate decimal, you could use an approximate fraction instead.
