How do you convert fractions to decimals using long division? Write out steps and give an example.

Imagine a balancing act. The top number, "Falls" into the division, "House". Then the bottom number has to divide the house to get their friend out.

5/8

In the Math world, after the top one falls, multiply the bottom # to the number you are on

8-> 5

This doesn’t work, so add a decimal

8-> 5.0 aka 50

8 can go into 50

8x50 = 400
