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 698 by the denominator 9:
698 (numerator) ÷ 9 (denominator) = 77.56
As a result, you get 77.56 as your answer when you convert 77 5/9 (or 698/9) to a decimal.
