Question

How do you change a fraction to a decimal

Answer 1

To convert a Fraction to a Decimal manually, follow these steps: Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s. Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.

Answer 2

A fraction is a short way of writing a division problem. 
When you see a fraction, it means

           (the top number) divided by (the bottom number).

If you go ahead and actually do the division, the answer to it
is the decimal form of the fraction.

Examples:

Fraction  1/2 .        1  divided by  2  =  0.5 .

Fraction  1/4 .        1  divided by  4  =  0.25 .

Fraction  3/10 .      3  divided by  10  =  0.3 .
