Say your fraction is 3/4 (3 quarters):
Divide 100 by 4 (the figure on the bottom line of the fraction), that gives you 25
multiply 25 by the top line of the fraction (3) and you get 75 therefore 3/4 is the same as 75%
try it with 3/5 your answer should be 60% as follows
100 divided by 5 (= 20) multiplied by 3 = 60

The solution is very easy. You need to remember only one rule for it.
For example a figure of fraction is 5.632. Here to turn it into decimal you can remove the fraction and add as many zeros as numbers in the right side of the fraction. The solution is

5632/1000

The easiest way is to make the fraction over 100 (78/100), then take the numerator(78/100) and move the decimal point two spaces to the left (.78) and presto.

Give me an example. Well, actually, I'll make one up:
1/2-  first, type into your your calc. 1 divided by 2. You should get 0.5. That's the answer. You just divide the numerator and the denominator

You divide the numerator by the denominator. Ex: 5/9 would we 5 divided by 9;
1/2 1divided by 2 which is 0.5.
