Answer:

The answer is 0.6 and 0.625 respectively

Explanation:

Fractions are converted into decimals by the method of division. This is done by a simple method i.e., dividing the numerator by the denominator.

The multiples of the numerator are taken into consideration. For eg:

250/5

Here, 250 is a multiple of 5, thus it is easily divisible by 5

5*50=250

thus,

The answer will be 50.

If the denominator is greater than the numerator, the answer is in decimal format.
