Converting Fractions to Decimals

I asked my friend, which way is optimal

To convert a fraction to a decimal

I gotta know now

I can't wait till later

He said, divide the numerator by the denominator

So I asked, huh

Well how can that be done

As far as I know

Two doesn't go into one

He said, listen, here's what you need to know

Just write a decimal point, followed by a zero

And you know two goes into ten five times

Then the decimal point rises above the line

The numerator becomes a dividend

Then write a decimal point and a zero in the tenths

Divide and write the decimal point in the quotient

So one half and five tenths are equivalent

Later on, I was hanging with my stuffed animal

Showing him how to convert a fraction to a decimal

I divided the numerator by the denominator

As he sat there real quiet like a spectator

I bet he was thinking, five can't go into two

But luckily for him, I knew just what to do

I said, listen, here's how it's got to go

Just write a decimal point, followed by a zero

Then five goes into twenty four times

And the decimal point jumps up on the line

The numerator becomes a dividend

Then write a decimal point and a zero in the tenths

Divide and write the decimal point in the quotient

So two fifths and four tenths are equivalent

The numerator becomes a dividend

Then write a decimal point and a zero in the tenths

Divide and write the decimal point in the quotient

So one half and five tenths are equivalent

I had to get my homework done before the school dance

I had to convert a fraction, couldn't leave it to chance

I divided the numerator by the denominator

But to my surprise, there was a remainder

I texted my friend, I don't want to be late

Can you tell me how to divide one by eight

She said, write two more zeros to the right of the dividend

The value will be unchanged, it's equivalent

I divided the two numbers and got point one two five

We arrived just in time to see Numberock live

The numerator becomes a dividend
