Changing Fractions to Decimals

Fractions may also be written in decimal form (decimal fractions) as either terminating (for example, .3) or infinite repeating (for example, .66…) decimals. To change a fraction to a decimal, simply do what the operation says. In other words,¹³/₂₀ means 13 divided by 20. Insert decimal points and zeros accordingly.
