Let's use the fraction 1/8 as an example. You can say it as one over eight or one eighths. To convert it to a decimal, you divide the numerator (the number on top) by the denominator (the number on the bottom). So, if you divide 1 by 8, you get 0.125. That's the decimal number for 1/8.

Another example:

To write the fraction 1/4 as a decimal, you would divide the 1 by the 4, which equals .25 To write it in words it is one fourth, or twenty five hundredths.
