Default How do I have excel convert fractions to decimals?

Sorry, I missed out the leading integers.

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) &"."& MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,find("/",A1),1)
/MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,255)
&" x " &
LEFT(B1,FIND(" ",B1)-1) &"."&MID(B1,FIND(" ",B1)+1,find("/",B1),1)
/MID(B1,FIND("/",B1)+1,255)

excel to
convert to decimal. I have tried format cells, and convert, neither
have
this option available.

Can you give examples of how you need to deal with the fractions?
Are you typing them?
Are they in data that was imported?
Are you referring to them in another cell?

What have you tried?
What were you hoping for?
What were the actual results?
