How to Convert Fractions to Decimals

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Take the numerator (top number) of your fraction
  2. Divide it by the denominator (bottom number)
  3. The result is your decimal number

Example: Converting 4/5 to a Decimal

4 ÷ 5 = 0.8
Therefore, 4/5 = 0.8

Helpful Tips:

  • The decimal result might be terminating (like 0.5) or repeating (like 0.333...)
  • You can check your answer by multiplying the decimal by the denominator - it should equal the numerator
  • Common fractions like 1/2 (0.5), 1/4 (0.25), and 3/4 (0.75) are worth memorizing
