Understanding Fraction to Decimal Conversion

Converting fractions to decimals is a fundamental mathematical skill. Here's how it works:

Quick Method:

Simply divide the numerator by the denominator. For example:

  • 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
  • 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
  • 2/5 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

Types of Decimal Results:

  • • Terminating decimals: Numbers that end (like 0.5, 0.75)
  • • Repeating decimals: Numbers that repeat infinitely (like 1/3 = 0.333...)
