To convert a Fraction to a Decimal manually, follow these steps: Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s. Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.

A fraction is a short way of writing a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means

(the top number) divided by (the bottom number).

If you go ahead and actually do the division, the answer to it
is the decimal form of the fraction.

Examples:

Fraction 1/2 . 1 divided by 2 = 0.5 .

Fraction 1/4 . 1 divided by 4 = 0.25 .

Fraction 3/10 . 3 divided by 10 = 0.3 .
