Changing fractions to decimals using division

To change a fraction to a decimal you can do it by a division.
You can think of a fraction like as meaning 1 ÷ 2
If you work out 1 ÷ 2 you get it as a decimal.
     1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
     so = 0.5

In the same way is 3 ÷ 4 so = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

And is 1 ÷ 10 so = 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1

You can work these divisions out using a calculator if you like.

This method works for any fraction. Here are some more examples:

       = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
        = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
      = 1 ÷ 20 = 0.05
      = 3 ÷ 50 = 0.06
     = 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
