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 54 by the denominator 38:
54 (numerator) ÷ 38 (denominator) = 1.42
As a result, you get 1.42 as your answer when you convert 54/38 to a decimal.
