One method to convert 45/14 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 45 by the denominator 14:
45 (numerator) ÷ 14 (denominator) = 3.21
And there you go! We got 3.21 as the answer when you convert 3 3/14 (or 45/14) to a decimal.
