Answer 1

Write a program to convert a fraction to a decimal. Have your program ask for the numerator first, then the denominator.

Explanation:

Python program to convert a fraction to a decimal.

num = float(input("Enter value of numerator: "))

denom = float(input("Enter value of denominator: "))

if denom == 0:

 print("Error - cannot divide by zero")

# Divide  numerator by denominator    

else:

 print("\n")

 result = num/ denom

 print("fraction in decimal: " + str(result))

Sample output 1

Enter value of numerator: 7                                                                                         Enter value of denominator: 2                                                                                       fraction in decimal: 3.5

Sample output 2

Enter value of numerator: 89                                                                                        Enter value of denominator: 0                                                                                       Error - cannot divide by zero
