\large\textsf{Hey there!}



\large\textbf{How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?}


\bullet\large\text{ To put it easier to understand DIVIDE the numerator \& denominator}\\\\\large\text{ from each other and solve!}



\large\textbf{How will we answer it?}


\rm{(2)/(9)}


\rm{= 2/ 9}


\rm{= 0.22222222}


\rm{\approx 0.22}



\large\textbf{Here is a basic formula for converting fractions to decimals:}


\rm{(a)/(b)\rightarrow a / b \rightarrow c}



\large\textbf{What is the answer?}


\large\boxed{\mathsf{0.22222222}}\large\checkmark

A fraction, like 2/9, has a numerator and a denominator separated by a dividing line.

2 is the numerator, because it is the number above the dividing line.

9 is the denominator because it is the bottom number of the dividing line.

To convert 2/9 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.


\bold{2 ÷ 9 ≈ 0.222222 ⇒ Answer}
