Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Convert fractions into decimals

__________________________

To convert fractions to decimals, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator since the line in the fraction indicates a division sign. Which is only used when converting to decimals or algebraic expressions.

So in a case like 5/8, all we need to do is divide 5 by 8.

5/8

0.625
