Fraction to Decimal Conversion

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

A decimal is a way of expressing numbers that are not whole, using a point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part.

Divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, $$\frac{3}{10} = 3 \div 10 = 0.3$$ .

Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1, then multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
