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 34 by the denominator 42:
34 (numerator) ÷ 42 (denominator) = 0.81
As a result, you get 0.81 as your answer when you convert 34/42 to a decimal.
