To convert fractions to decimals, we divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
Let’s go step by step:
---
Part A: Convert each fraction to a decimal
1.
7/8
Divide 7 by 8 → 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875
2.
3/4
Divide 3 by 4 → 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
3.
9/10
Divide 9 by 10 → 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9
4.
1/2
Divide 1 by 2 → 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
5.
1/100
Divide 1 by 100 → 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
6.
1/8
Divide 1 by 8 → 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
7.
9/100
Divide 9 by 100 → 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
8.
12/25
Divide 12 by 25 → 12 ÷ 25 = 0.48
