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 116 by the denominator 85:
116 (numerator) ÷ 85 (denominator) = 1.36
As a result, you get 1.36 as your answer when you convert 116/85 to a decimal.
