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.
