The answer would be 0.90

The easiest way to think of decimals is in terms of something over 100.

For example:

You want to figure out 2 over 5 in decimal form.

1. Multiply the denominator by something so it equals 100.

5 x _ = 100

5 x 20 = 100

2. Multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied the denominator by.

2 x 20 = 40

3. Put them together in fraction form.

40/100

4. Take the new numerator and move the decimal place two to the right.

40.0 = 0.40

Now you have you answer: .40

I hope that wasn't too complicated. I'm not very good at explaining things.

If anything, you can use a calculator and just divide the numerator by the denominator. :)
