Numberock - Converting Fractions to Decimals Lyrics

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
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
