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 146 by the denominator 142:
146 (numerator) ÷ 142 (denominator) = 1.03
As a result, you get 1.03 as your answer when you convert 146/142 to a decimal.
