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.
