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 75 by the denominator 40:
75 (numerator) ÷ 40 (denominator) = 1.88
As a result, you get 1.88 as your answer when you convert 1 35/40 (or 75/40) to a decimal.
