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 70 by the denominator 17:
70 (numerator) ÷ 17 (denominator) = 4.12
As a result, you get 4.12 as your answer when you convert 4 2/17 (or 70/17) to a decimal.
