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 79 by the denominator 240:
79 (numerator) ÷ 240 (denominator) = 0.33
As a result, you get 0.33 as your answer when you convert 79/240 to a decimal.
