1. Divide the numerator 3 by the denominator 4.
2. The result of the division is 0.75, which is the decimal representation of the fraction 3/4.

$$\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Example 2

To convert the fraction 5/8, follow these steps:

1. Divide the numerator 5 by the denominator 8.
2. The result of the division is 0.625, which is the decimal representation of the fraction 5/8.

$$\frac{5}{8}=0.625$$

This simple process of dividing the numerator by the denominator is the key to converting a fraction to a decimal.
