how do you convert a fraction into a decimal? and vice versa?
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
Example:
3/4 = 0.75
(Remember three quarters equal seventy-five cents.)
To change a decimal to a fraction, read the decimal.
Example: 0.80 = eighty hundredths = 80/100 = 4/5
You must divide the numerator by the denominator Example: 13/50= 13 divided by50 you would get 0.26 and that would be your answer!!!!!
To convert a fraction into a decimal, you can use the division method.
Here's how to convert a fraction into a decimal:
1. Divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number).
2. Perform the division and write down the quotient.
3. If the division is not exact (there is a remainder), add a decimal point to the quotient. If necessary, add zeros after the decimal point.
4. Continue dividing until you either reach the desired decimal places or determine that the digits repeat or terminate.
5. If the decimal digits repeat, indicate the repeating pattern by adding a bar over the repeating digits.
6. The resulting number is the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
To convert a decimal into a fraction, you can follow these steps:
Here's how to convert a decimal into a fraction:
1. Count the number of decimal places.
This will determine the denominator of the fraction.
2. Write the decimal number as a fraction with the decimal as the numerator.
The denominator will be a 1 followed by the same number of zeros as the decimal places counted in step 1.
3. Simplify the fraction, if possible, by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
By following these steps, you can convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.
