Example Question #82 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction
What is the decimal of ?
The first step to turn a fraction to a decimal is to change the denominator to .
so you must the same operation to the numerator to get
.
Then take a decimal and place it in front of the numerator and your answer is .

Write as a decimal:
To turn a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
Example Question #84 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction
What is the decimal equivalent of ?
To change a fraction to a decimal, you must make the denominator and do the same operation to the numerator.
(You can find that value by dividing by the denominator) so you must multiple the numerator by the same giving us .
You move the decimal in the numerator over two spaces to the left to get your decimal of .
Example Question #85 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction
Write as a fraction.
First we rewrite as a fraction. Since is in the tenths place, we can write it over
Reduce the fraction:
Example Question #482 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
In order to make Lilly's Lemonade, for every 16 oz of water, 6 tablespoons of lemon juice is needed. If you want to use 8 oz of water, how much lemon juice would you need?
8 tablespoons
14 tablespoons
3 tablespoons
12 tablespoons
4 tablespoons
3 tablespoons
In order to solve this problem, we must set up a ratio.
For every 16 oz of water, we need 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.
The ratio that we get is
16 : 6.
If we want to use only 8 oz of water, we need to find out how much lemon juice is needed.
The amount of lemon juice we need, x, is currently unknown.
Our new ratio is
8 : x.
Looking at the first number in the two ratios, dividing 16 by 8 will get us
16 ÷ 8 = 2.
Let's divide the second number in our first ratio by 2 to solve for x.
So,
6 ÷ 2 = 3.
We need 3 tablespoons of lemon juice for 8 oz of water.
