How to convert fraction into decimal

To convert a fraction to a decimal on your own, you must first find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, 100, 1000, or, really anything starting with 1 and followed completely by 0's. After doing this, multiply the top and the bottom by the number.

Every fraction is a short way to write a division problem.

A fraction means:

"the numerator (top number) divided by the denominator (bottom number) ".

When you actually do the division, using a pencil or a calculator,

the quotient you get is the decimal form of the fraction.
