Writing Fractions as Decimals

To write a fraction as a decimal you must put it over a denominator that is a power of 10. For example, 1/5 = 0.2 because 1/5 = 2/10.
Try to write 5/20, 1/4, and 6/10 as decimals.
If, however, you are unable to put the number over a denominator that is a power of 10, you must divide the numerator by the denominator.7/8 doesn't evenly go into a power of 10 so you must divide 7 by 8 and your answer is then 0.875. If you have a mixed number like 4 3/9 you carry over the_whole number and divide if you have to, then this number becomes 4.3 (this uses bar notation to describe a repeating decimal.
