Explanation:
A decimal is a number written out with - you guessed it - a decimal point. These are some examples of decimals.

To turn a fraction into a decimal, all you have to do is divide the top number by the bottom number. Or:
7
12
=
7
÷
12
So, you can set up your long division problem like this and then solve. I've gone ahead and done it for you, but feel free to follow along!

NOTE: I know that it looks like I made
12
go into
70
, but that's only because
12
can't go into
7
without going over. So I put
0
above, then a decimal. This permits us to put a
0
after the
7
below, making it
70
.
So our decimal is
0.58

. The line over the
3
means that it repeats over and over again.
