Divide the numerator by the denominator.
write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal 3 over 4?
Everywhere. Each and every point on a number line is a fraction and also a decimal.
A decimal number is one in which the place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. (... , thousands, hundreds, tens, units, tenths, hundredths, ... ) A decimal point is used to separate the units from the tenths. If a number in decimal form has non-zero digits after the decimal point then it is a decimal fraction. [There is one esoteric exception: if the decimal point is followed by an infinite string of 9s, then it is not a decimal fraction.] Thus 37.6 is a decimal fraction 0.6 is a decimal fraction 0.00000063 is a decimal fraction 37 is not a decimal fraction. 37.0 is not a decimal fraction. 37.999... recurring is no a decimal fraction [it is in fact = 38].
When you get a repeating decimal when dividing, it means that the decimal representation of the quotient has a repeating pattern of digits. This occurs when the divisor (the number you're dividing by) is not a factor of 10, leading to a situation where the division process does not result in a clean, terminating decimal. The repeating decimal is a way to represent the fraction that results from the division in a concise form.

Every fraction is an equivalent fraction: each fraction in decimal form has an equivalent rational fraction as well as an equivalent percentage fraction.

0.8=8/10
A fraction is a division problem, such as one divided by two, which equals a half. This can be written as 1/2. In decimal form it is .5 since five tenths is a half. If you have a mixed number, such as 17 and 2/3, that can be written in decimal form as 17.67 (but note that this is only an approximation since 2/3 gives an infinitely long decimal expansion, .6666666666666666666666666 etc.).
1/17 contains each of the ten digits.
To write 37 hundredths as a decimal, you would divide 37 by 100. This division would result in 0.37, as each hundredth represents one one-hundredth of the whole. Therefore, 37 hundredths written as a decimal is 0.37.
