Answers
Numbers that can be expressed in a/b or fraction form is a rational number where a is any integer and b is a non zero integer.
In order to change a rational number to a decimal, we divide the numerator with the denominator or can be converted to a decimal by the division method.
We will use the definition of the rational number to explain how to change a rational number to a decimal.
for example-: Convert 7/8 into decimal.
A fraction is actually stated division. 7/8 means 7 divided by 8.
Ask "How many times does 8 go into 7"?
Do long division : put a decimal point after the 7 and add some zeros:
8 goes into 7 zero times. Put a decimal point after the zero up in the answer, and just continue with long division.
7/8 is a rational number (a fraction), so you know the division will end. The Remainder will be zero.
