A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 144 by the denominator 32:
144 (numerator) ÷ 32 (denominator) = 4.5
As a result, you get 4.5 as your answer when you convert 1 112/32 (or 144/32) to a decimal.
