To convert a fraction into decimal, simply divide the numerator, which is the number at the top, by the denominator, which is the number at the bottom.
23=0.67

To change a fraction into a decimal, you treat it as a division.
34 means 3÷4
The working is:
3÷4=0 bring down the decimal point,
30÷4=7 carry the remainder of 2 to make 20
20÷4=5
However, sometimes you get a recurring decimal.
23=2÷3 is such a case.
The working is:
2÷3=0 bring down the decimal point.
20÷3=6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20
This gives the recurring decimal 0.66666
