Answer:

1.You can use a calculator.

2. Make the denominator any number 1 followed by 0s.

Explanation:

1.You can use a calculator.

For example 3/5

You use the calculator and divide both terms, in this case

F=3/5= 0.6

2. An easy way to change a common fraction to a decimal without using your calculator. Find a number you can multiply by the denominator of the fraction to make it 10, 100, 1000 or any 1 followed by 0s.

In the same example that we use before will be

F=3/5

to transform 5 into 10 we have to multiple per 2

We multiple both terms

F= 3x 2/ 5x 2= 6/10= 0.60
