Here's the question written in the book, "Write an application that prompts/reads the numerator and denominator of a fraction as integers, then prints the decimal equivalent of the fraction." I'll illustrate this sentence with my code:
The fraction 3 1/2 as a decimal is equal to 3.5. When two whole numbers are written in the form of a ratio as p/q, they are referred to as a Fraction. Here p represents the Numerator and q represents the Denominator of a fraction. The separation indicates this expression to be a fraction.
To convert 3 1/2 (3½) to decimal you need simply divide numerator 1 by denominator 2. The result of the division is: 1 ÷ 2 = 3.5. and then add the whole part (3): 0.5 + 3 = 3.5. Another way to convert fraction 3 and 1/2 to decimal is to change this mixed fraction to an improper fraction.
