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 147 by the denominator 48:
147 (numerator) ÷ 48 (denominator) = 3.06
As a result, you get 3.06 as your answer when you convert 3 3/48 (or 147/48) to a decimal.
