To do the conversion, you could change it to a fraction that has 100 as the denominator. That new fraction would be easy to write as a decimal.

#9/20 xx 5/5 = 45/100#

which, in decimal form is 0.45

The decimal form is #.45#

You'd need to convert the fraction into a decimal.

Multiply the denominator, which is #20#, by #5# to get #100#.

Multiply the numerator, #9#, by #5# as well to get #45#.

Our fraction is now #45/100#. The decimal form is #.45#
