Well the bottom number on the fraction means the total amount of that number until that number equals 1. like 4/8 is only half of 8s total. but 8/8 is a total of 1. and 16/8 is a total of 2 8s. If we take the number 1 or 2 we need to recognize that that really means 1.00000 infinitely repeating and 2.00000 infinitely repeating. If we take 4/8 and recognize that that means a half... and you know that a half equals 0.5 in decimals then that is a basic explanation of a decimal from a fraction.
The main idea of a decimal is to indicated the numbers between numbers. Like there is an infinite amount of numbers between 1 and 2 and the same with 2 and 3 and the same with 3 and 4 and it goes on forever between every single number. numbers between numbers are called decimals and fractions. decimals and fractions are the same but just written in a different form. decimals are rounded off and fractions are exactly perfect.
I can't really explain how to get a decimal from a fraction. There is no exact one way since there are an infinitely of decimals and fractions and an infinite of combinations of them both. You just need to practice and recognize patterns. patterns like 3/5 is equal to 0.60 as a decimal. or 6/8 is also 3/4 as a fraciton and is written as 0.75 as a decimal. just realize that the bottom number (called the denominator) on the fraction is the total amount that the topp number has to get to for that fraction to equal 1.
5/5 = 1
2345636/2345636 = 1
(5/6)/(5/6) = 1
3.4/3.4 = 1

What does decimal fraction mean?
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].
