One method to convert 64/40 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 64 by the denominator 40:
64 (numerator) ÷ 40 (denominator) = 1.6
And there you go! We got 1.6 as the answer when you convert 1 24/40 (or 64/40) to a decimal.
