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 55 by the denominator 9742:
55 (numerator) ÷ 9742 (denominator) = 0.0056
As a result, you get 0.0056 as your answer when you convert 55/9742 to a decimal.
