When change fractions to decimals, it takes one easy step. You simply divide the numerator by the denominator. In other words, you divide the top number by the bottom number. This method doesn't include mixed numbers. When you get a repeating decimal as your answer, that means your denominator is an odd number. When you get a repeating decimal for your answer, simply put a bar above the repeating number/numbers. This shows that this number/numbers continues on forever. Mixed numbers can be changed to a decimal after transforming in to an improper fraction. To do this, you must multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add the numerator. For example, 5 3/4, you multiply 4 by 5, then add three to get the answer of 23/4. Then you simply divide 23 by 4 and receive the decimal of 5.75.
