Sparky and I would like to show you that it&#8217;s not very hard to use a calculator to find the decimal equivalent of any fraction.<\/p>\n<p>When you look at a fraction, you might not realize it but what you are seeing is actually a division problem. One half means one divided by two. Let\u2019s start with that one since it\u2019s pretty easy. The decimal equivalent of one over two is point five. You see since one half means \u201cone divided by two,\u201d so that\u2019s all we need to key into the calculator&#8230;See: press \u201cone\u201d then hit the \u201cdivided by button\u201d and then press \u201ctwo\u201d hit equals and the answer pops up. One half is point five.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to let you try a harder one. What is the decimal equivalent of \u215c? When you see Sparky\u2019s paws, pause the video and use your calculator to figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>Did you say point 375? If you did, great! You\u2019ve got it . Three eighths means three, divided by eight. If you got something else for you answer something went wrong. Try doing it again and I\u2019ll bet you get it.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another one: Three sixteenths. Pause the video and see if you can figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>Three sixteenths is equal to point 1875. Here is what i did: enter 3 into the calculator, then press divided by\u2026 then type 16. Press enter and there is the answer. .1875.<\/p>\n<p>I think you\u2019ve got this. If you need more help, just let me know.
