Question 203522
To write a fraction as a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom).
When you do this with a calculator, the answer will appear as decimal.
If don't have a calculator, then you can use long division but you will get the same result.
{{{5/9}}} Divide 5 by 9
{{{5/9 = 0.555}}}... This ends up as a repeating decimal.
Try this with your calculator:
{{{17/51 = 0.333}}}... another repeating decimal.
{{{21/28 = 0.75}}}
