Changing Fractions to Decimals

So, you want to know how to change fractions to decimals, well you've come to the right person. There are 2 parts of the fraction, the numerator and the denominator. If your fraction was: 5/8, the 5 would be the numerator and the 8 would be the denominator. There are  easy steps to change your fraction to a decimal. Step 1: Find your fraction.  Step 2: Divide the numerator(top number) by the denominator(bottom number).  Step 3: Write down your decimal.

There is one more tricky thing about changing repeated decimals to fractions.  When you do that, the denominator ALWAYS has to be a 9.
