Fractions have 2 parts- the numerator and the denominator. The numerator is the number at the top of the fraction and the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

All the fractions can be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator past the denominator. Some fractions can be converted to decimal without actually doing the sectionalization.

This is the case when the denominator of the fraction is a number that is one followed by one or more than zeros like 10, 100, thou, and so on.

The rule to convert such a fraction to a decimal is that the number of zeros in the denominator is the aforementioned every bit the number of digits the decimal point is to movement to the left side.

$$\frac{\mathbf1}{\mathbf{10}}\boldsymbol=\mathbf0\boldsymbol.\mathbf1$$
