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.).
