Q&A for How to Change a Common Fraction Into a Decimal

No, this article has covered all the ways of doing it.

Leave the whole numbers aside. Put the decimal over a fraction like 0.02 would be 2/100. You may have to reduce as in the case, 2/100 would be 1/50 because you have to reduce by two or divide by two. Don't forget about the whole number. Therefore, 1.02 would equal 1 2/100 or teachers like it reduced so 1 1/50.

Unfortunately, there isn't. However, keep doing problem sets and you will find that it will become second nature to you soon.

242 ÷ 22 = 11.

The sign doesn't matter. The process is the same whether using positive or negative numbers. In other words, -½ = -0.5.

Convert a mixed number to a decimal by placing the whole number to the left of the decimal point, then dividing the numerator by the denominator to arrive at the numbers you will place to the right of the decimal point.

Always read what the fraction is saying. The bar stands for 'divide by'. Read it as '5 divided by 16.' Perform the division by placing a decimal point immediately after the 5 and adding zeros; in this case add three zeros: 5.000. Then divide 16 into that number for an answer of .385 in decimal equivalence.

Don't attempt to solve that by long division. Just invert 1/3, making it 3/1, and then multiply 2/5 by 3/1.

2/3 is 2÷3, which is 0.67.

Assuming the numerator is a multiple of the denominator, you would divide the numerator by the denominator. Take 12/4, for example. 12 divided by 4 is 3. 3 is the whole-number equivalent of 12/4. If the fraction were 13/4, the equivalent would be the mixed number 3¼.

The whole number remains the same. As for the fraction, divide the denominator into the numerator. The quotient will be a decimal, which you place after the whole number. For example, 2¾ = 2.75.

You would divide 7 into 1.000 to get 0.143.

For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4. Divide 4 into 3.00: Where the quotient will go, place a decimal point directly above the decimal point in 3.00. Now 4 goes into 30 7 times (with a remainder of 2). Write 7 directly above the first 0 in 3.00. 7 times 4 is 28. Write 28 directly below the 3.0. Subtract 28 from 30. That's 2. Write 2 below the 8 in 28. Bring down the second 0 in 3.00. 4 goes into 20 5 times. Write 5 directly above the second 0 in 3.00. The quotient is .75 (which equals 3/4). (You can place a 0 to the left of the decimal point in the quotient if you prefer.)

You would have to divide by hand. In your example, you would divide 1 by 3, as demonstrated above.

9/45 is the same as 1/5, so divide 1 by 5 to arrive at your answer in decimal form. (0.2)

No. The only way you can do this is to divide the numerator by the denominator, unless you can do it mentally.

Any whole number (such as -34) can be expressed as a decimal simply by adding a decimal point and a zero to it. -34 = -34.0.

You don't need to divide. Any number divided by itself is equal to 1.

Ignore the whole number (3) for the moment. Divide 16 into 3.0000. The quotient is 0.1875. Then add the whole number. The final decimal is 3.1875. You could also do this by changing 3 3/16 to 51/16 and then dividing 16 into 51.0000.

There are two ways you can do this. Method one: Convert it to a regular fraction first, then divide. Method two: divide the fraction part only, then add the whole number.

You can do the method as normal and then divide the fraction: 1/4 = 25/100, 25/100 = 0.25. If you want to know how to convert the fraction to a denominator of 100 using a calculator: - divide 100 by the denominator. 100/4 = 25, - multiply the denominator and the numerator by the result above; in this case, 25. 1 x 25 = 25, 4 x 25 = 100, 25/100 = 0.25

The decimal form of the fraction 7/2 is the same as seven divided by two. The answer is 3.5.

If the numerator and denominator are both negative, the fraction itself is positive. If only one is negative, the fraction itself is negative. Either way, just multiply and divide like normal but keep track of the negative sign.

Think of it as dividing things into equal groups or parts. For example, if you have 8 cookies and 4 friends, 8 divided by 4 is 2, so each person can have 2 cookies.

Because these fractions have the same denominator, we can simply subtract their numbers. 7.4 - 1 = 6.4, 6.4/10 = 64/100 = 0.64.

This is the conversion: 1 / 4 = 2 5 / 1 0 0, 2 5 / 1 0 0 = 0 . 2 5

1 m = 100 cm so you have two-thirds of 100 and therefore you have approximately 67 cm because 2/3 is periodical -> 2/3 = 0.(67).
