To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).
Here are the step-by-step calculations for each problem:
1.
3/4: Divide 3 by 4.
$3 \div 4 = 0.75$
2.
7/35: First, simplify the fraction. Both numbers can be divided by 7.
$7 \div 7 = 1$ and $35 \div 7 = 5$. So, it becomes $1/5$.
$1 \div 5 = 0.2$
3.
2/8: Simplify the fraction by dividing both by 2.
$2 \div 2 = 1$ and $8 \div 2 = 4$. So, it becomes $1/4$.
$1 \div 4 = 0.25$
4.
40/50: Simplify by dividing both by 10.
$40 \div 10 = 4$ and $50 \div 10 = 5$. So, it becomes $4/5$.
$4 \div 5 = 0.8$
5.
6/8: Simplify by dividing both by 2.
$6 \div 2 = 3$ and $8 \div 2 = 4$. So, it becomes $3/4$.
$3 \div 4 = 0.75$
6.
8/32: Simplify by dividing both by 8.
$8 \div 8 = 1$ and $32 \div 8 = 4$. So, it becomes $1/4$.
$1 \div 4 = 0.25$
7.
35/100: Since the denominator is 100, you just move the decimal point in the numerator two places to the left.
$35 \rightarrow 0.35$
8.
29/50: To make the denominator 100, multiply the top and bottom by 2.
$29 \times 2 = 58$ and $50 \times 2 = 100$. So, it becomes $58/100$.
$58/100 = 0.58$
9.
31/50: Multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get a denominator of 100.
$31 \times 2 = 62$ and $50 \times 2 = 100$. So, it becomes $62/100$.
$62/100 = 0.62$
10.
49/50: Multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get a denominator of 100.
$49 \times 2 = 98$ and $50 \times 2 = 100$. So, it becomes $98/100$.
$98/100 = 0.98$
11.
18/25: Multiply the top and bottom by 4 to get a denominator of 100.
$18 \times 4 = 72$ and $25 \times 4 = 100$. So, it becomes $72/100$.
$72/100 = 0.72$
12.
4/20: Simplify by dividing both by 4.
$4 \div 4 = 1$ and $20 \div 4 = 5$. So, it becomes $1/5$.
$1 \div 5 = 0.2$
13.
391/500: Multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get a denominator of 1000.
$391 \times 2 = 782$ and $500 \times 2 = 1000$. So, it becomes $782/1000$.
$782/1000 = 0.782$
14.
49/250: Multiply the top and bottom by 4 to get a denominator of 1000.
$49 \times 4 = 196$ and $250 \times 4 = 1000$. So, it becomes $196/1000$.
$196/1000 = 0.196$
15.
179/500: Multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get a denominator of 1000.
$179 \times 2 = 358$ and $500 \times 2 = 1000$. So, it becomes $358/1000$.
$358/1000 = 0.358$
16.
121/125: Multiply the top and bottom by 8 to get a denominator of 1000.
$121 \times 8 = 968$ and $125 \times 8 = 1000$. So, it becomes $968/1000$.
$968/1000 = 0.968$
17.
113/125: Multiply the top and bottom by 8 to get a denominator of 1000.
$113 \times 8 = 904$ and $125 \times 8 = 1000$. So, it becomes $904/1000$.
$904/1000 = 0.904$
18.
49/250: Multiply the top and bottom by 4 to get a denominator of 1000.
$49 \times 4 = 196$ and $250 \times 4 = 1000$. So, it becomes $196/1000$.
$196/1000 = 0.196$
