Annex one or more ciphers to the numerator and divide by the
denominator.
_Example_. Change 3/4 to a decimal. Ans. .75.
We add two ciphers to the 3, making it 300, and divide by 4, which
gives us.75. In the same way 1/2 =.5, or 3/4 =.75, and so on. When a
quantity is in dollars and fractions of a dollar, the fractions should
always be thus reduced to cents and mills.
