How to Convert Fractions to Decimals

Converting fractions to decimals is a fundamental skill in mathematics. It involves dividing the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal representation of the fraction.

Formula for Converting Fractions to Decimals

The formula to convert a fraction to a decimal is:

\[\text{Decimal} = \frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}\]

Where:

• Numerator is the top number in a fraction
• Denominator is the bottom number in a fraction

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
2. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
3. The result of this division is the decimal representation of the fraction.

Example Calculation

Let's convert the fraction \(\frac{3}{4}\) to a decimal:

1. Identify: numerator = 3, denominator = 4
2. Divide: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
3. Therefore, \(\frac{3}{4}\) as a decimal is 0.75
