Tutorial: Changing Fractions To Decimals
Today I will teach you all how to change Fractions into decimals.
The first thing we need is a fraction, of course. I'll start of with a simple one.
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2}\]
To turn the fraction above into a decimal you must do the following: \[1 \div 2\]
After you solve the equation you'd see that: \[1\div2= 0.5\]
And that's your answer! \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=0.50\]
That was pretty simple wasn't it?
So, whenever you are asked to change a decimal into a fraction simply just: \[Divide~the~numerator~and~the~denominator\]
Let's do another one!
\[\frac{ 55}{ 100}\]
Woah, that's a big fraction right?
Still, we do the same thing as the first fraction, nothing different. \[Divide~The~Numerator~and~the~Denominator\]
\[55\div100\]
Once you solve that you get:\[55\div100=0.55\]
Therefore, \[\frac{ 55 }{ 100 }=0.55\]
I hope after reading this, you will be able to change fractions to decimals!
