Concept:

A fraction can be converted to a decimal by writing it with a denominator of

and then placing the decimal point correctly.

Explanation:

We need to express

Since

25 \times 4 = 100

, multiply both numerator and denominator by

4

\frac{12}{25} = \frac{12 \times 4}{25 \times 4} = \frac{48}{100}

Now

\frac{48}{100}
