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 83 by the denominator 115:
83 (numerator) ÷ 115 (denominator) = 0.72
As a result, you get 0.72 as your answer when you convert 83/115 to a decimal.
