Answer 1

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the **numerator** by the **denominator** by placing the **numerator** inside the division bracket and placing the **denominator** outside the division bracket. Add a **decimal point** to the right of the **numerator** and add a **zero** following the decimal. Remember to place a **decimal point** in the quotient above the decimal in the dividend. As you complete the long division, add zeros until the quotient terminates or a repeating pattern is shown. Remember to use **bar notation** if the decimal is a **repeating** decimal to represent the quotient.
