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 106 by the denominator 9:
106 (numerator) ÷ 9 (denominator) = 11.78
As a result, you get 11.78 as your answer when you convert 8 34/9 (or 106/9) to a decimal.
