The formula to convert a fraction to a decimal is:
\[ D = A + \frac{x}{y} \]
Where:
Fraction-to-decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction into a decimal representation. It is essential because decimals are a more widely used and easily understandable form of numbers in many real-life situations. Converting fractions to decimals allows for easier comparison, calculation, and communication of values.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator:
\[ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \]
Therefore, the decimal is 0.75.
Let's assume the following values for a mixed number:
Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator:
\[ \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
Step 2: Add the whole number:
\[ 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 \]
Therefore, the decimal is 2.5.
