How can you turn a fraction into a decimal? - Answers

YES!!!! Taking the fraction 1/4 can converted to decimal by dividing '1' by '4'. So set up the division brackets 4)1 = Now insert a decimal point and zeroes after the '1'. Hence 1.00 = Now we say '4' into '1' won't go . So 'zero' in the answer followed by the decimal point Hence 4)10.0 = 0. Notice how the decimal points have shifted. Now we say '4' into '10' goes twice '2'm,, with remainder of 2' Hence 4)1.00 = 0.2 We have a remainder of '2' , so this is combined to the second zero to read '20'. Now we say '4' into '20' goes 5 times, with no remainder. So '5' in the answer 4)1.00 = 0.25 Since there is no remainder , then the division is complete and 0.25 is the answer. Hence 1/4 (fraction) = 0.25 (decimal). You try it with '1/2' , '3/4' and '1/3' 1/2 = 0.5 3/4 = 075 1/3 = 0.3333333.... (The dots mean it goes to infinity ; never stops). This system is good for converting any fraction to a decimal . Hope that helps!!!!!!
