Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 25:

×25

3 / 4 = 75 / 100

×25
Step 3: Write down 75 with the decimal point 2 spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros);

Answer = 0.75

Example: Convert 3 / 16 to a Decimal

Step 1: We have to multiply 16 by 625 to become 10,000

Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 625:

×625

3 / 16 = 1,875 / 10,000

×625

Step 3: Write down 1875 with the decimal point 4 spaces from the right (because 10,000 has 4
zeros);

Answer = 0.1875
