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 116 by the denominator 27:
116 (numerator) ÷ 27 (denominator) = 4.3
As a result, you get 4.3 as your answer when you convert 4 8/27 (or 116/27) to a decimal.
