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 99 by the denominator 72:
99 (numerator) ÷ 72 (denominator) = 1.38
As a result, you get 1.38 as your answer when you convert 99/72 to a decimal.
