Convert Fraction String to Decimal?

Question

I\'m trying to create a javascript function that can take a fraction input string such as \'3/2\' and convert it to decimal—either as a string \'1.5\'

Answer 1

It works with eval() method but you can use parseFloat method. I think it is better! Unfortunately it will work only with that kind of values - "12.2" not with "5/8", but since you can handle with calculation I think this is good approach!
