  • I feel sure you know a calculator will do that conversion to decimal. Perhaps you are asking about understanding the process or looking for a mental shortcut, but little you wrote suggests you merely wanted others to do your thinking for you, because of the lack of effort demonstrated. – hardmath Sep 29 '15 at 12:46

Remember that our numeration system has basis $10$ so $$\frac{27}{50}=\frac{27\times 2}{50\times 2}=\frac{54}{100}=0.54$$

$\frac{27}{50}=\frac{27*2}{50*2}=\frac{54}{100}=0.54$
