Answer:
To convert a fraction into a decimal using long division, follow these steps:
1. **Write the fraction:**
Write the fraction as a division problem, with the numerator inside the long division symbol and the denominator outside.
For example, let's use the fraction 3/4.
```
3
----
4
```
2. **Perform the division:**
Divide the numerator by the denominator, and write the quotient above the long division symbol.
In our example, 3 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
```
0. (0 is the quotient)
----
4 | 3
```
3. **Add a decimal point:**
Add a decimal point to the right of the quotient.
```
0.
----
4 | 3
```
4. **Bring down a zero:**
Bring down a zero next to the remainder.
```
0.
----
4 | 3.0
```
5. **Continue the division:**
Continue the division by dividing the new number (30) by the denominator (4).
```
0.75
----
4 | 30.0
```
The quotient is 7 with no remainder.
6. **Final result:**
The final result is the quotient you obtained.
```
0.75
----
4 | 3.0
```
So, the decimal equivalent of the fraction 3/4 is 0.75.
