One method to convert 32/20 to a decimal is by using the division method. Before we move ahead to the method, here is a quick recap on fractions: A fraction is a number representation that is broken down into two parts - the number on top is called the numerator, and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. To get a decimal using the division method, simply divide the numerator 32 by the denominator 20:
32 (numerator) ÷ 20 (denominator) = 1.6
And there you go! We got 1.6 as the answer when you convert 1 12/20 (or 32/20) to a decimal.
