Question #b450a

Answer 1

To convert a number into a decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.

Ex: `2/5` converted to a decimal is `0.4`

Explanation:

Since fractions are really just divisions you can convert them into decimals just by putting them with the long division symbol.

Your numerator becomes your dividend and your denominator becomes your divisor. Note: This strategy also works for improper fractions.

`2 div 5 =0.4`
