One method to convert 30/13 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 30 by the denominator 13:
30 (numerator) ÷ 13 (denominator) = 2.31
And there you go! We got 2.31 as the answer when you convert 1 17/13 (or 30/13) to a decimal.
