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 87 by the denominator 137:
87 (numerator) ÷ 137 (denominator) = 0.64
As a result, you get 0.64 as your answer when you convert 87/137 to a decimal.
