CONVERTING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS BS 4 & 5

A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator and a denominator. It is used to represent how many parts we have out of the total number of parts.

The line in a fraction that separates the numerator and denominator can be rewritten using the division symbol.

So, to convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. If required, you can use a calculator to do this. This will give us our answer as a decimal
EXAMPLES
Convert the fraction to a decimal number
³/₈

NOTE: When a number is divided by another number with zeros at its end, we move point according to the number of zeros found. The point is moved from the back to the front.
