How do you convert fractions to decimal notation?

1 Answer

Apr 17, 2016

Divide the numerator by the denominator

Explanation:

$\frac{a}{b}$ $a/b$ is $a \div b = x$ $a÷b= x$
when $a$ $a$ = 1 , $b$ $b$ = 4, then $x$ $x$ = 1÷4

1÷4 = 0.25

0.25 is $\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ in decimal notation and to convert x into a percent just multiply $x$ $x$ by 100

so $\frac{a}{b}$ $a/b$ is $x$ $x$ in decimal notation and $x (100)$ $x(100)$ = $x %$ $x%$

$\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ $(100) = 25 %$ $(100)=25%$
