Fractions and decimals are all connected in an oblique sort of way. They an all be converted into each other, as well other forms too. To change a fraction into a decimal, there is indeed two ways of doing so. The most infamous way, is simply dividing. The fraction line serves as a division line, so you can simply just divide it. For example, if you were to have 3/4, then you would divide 4 into 3, and your answer you be .75. Some of the answers might be a bit odd, as you would have irrational numbers. The next way of turning a fraction into a decimal, is receiving a decimal that has a numerator that is greater than the denominator. Another example would be like, 6/4. This will equal out to a whole number, which will turn into decimal. 
     There may be several other methods for changing a fraction into a decimal, but these ways seem to be the most common.  Dividing by 100 may also work. If you have 60/100, you can automatically tell that that will be 60% or .60.
