To turn a fraction into a decimal you would have to first , turn the fraction into a improper one. Then, you would make it into a mixed number. You would take the turn such as, 2 and 1/4 and turn it into 2.25. Remember this is only to solve a improper fraction. For a non improper fraction such as 2/4 you could see it is 1/2 if simplified. You would then turn it into .5 becuase .5 is half of 1 whole. There is another way. Though it is a longer process it will still work. Such as 2/4 again multiply it by 25 then you get 50/100 which is still 1 half or .5.
