The formula explained
decimal = numerator ÷ denominator. The numerator is the top number and counts the pieces; the denominator is the bottom number and says how many equal pieces make a whole. Dividing the top by the bottom gives the size of the fraction as a decimal.
Another worked example: 18/45 as a decimal
- Simplify: 18/45 = 2/5 (divide by 9)
- Divide the numerator by the denominator: 18 ÷ 45 = 0.4
