To change a fraction into a decimal, you treat it as a division.
$\frac{3}{4}$ means $3 \div 4$
The working is:
$3 \div 4 = 0$ bring down the decimal point,
$30 \div 4 = 7$ carry the remainder of 2 to make 20
$20 \div 4 = 5$
However, sometimes you get a recurring decimal.
$\frac{2}{3} = 2 \div 3$ is such a case.
The working is:
$2 \div 3 = 0$ bring down the decimal point.
$20 \div 3 = 6$ and carry the remainder 2 to make 20
This gives the recurring decimal 0.66666
