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 59 by the denominator 148:
59 (numerator) ÷ 148 (denominator) = 0.4
As a result, you get 0.4 as your answer when you convert 59/148 to a decimal.
