Divide the numerator by the denominator
Use long division if needed
If the denominator divides the numerator evenly, write the exact terminating decimal
If the remainder repeats, write a repeating decimal (use a bar over the repeating part)
For fractions with denominators like 10, 100, 1000, move the decimal point right by the number of zeros in the denominator
For mixed numbers, convert the fractional part to a decimal and add it to the whole number
If the fraction is negative, keep the negative sign on the decimal
Check by multiplying the decimal by the denominator and comparing to the numerator
