on what i was taught is move the decimal back until you cant move it back and count how many times you had moved it and you will have that many 0s
That's what I thought but wasn't sure. Thank you.
you are welcome i hope that helped you
To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the place value of the last digit after the decimal point. In this case, the last digit is 0, so we need to find the value of the hundredths place.
Step 2: Write the decimal as a fraction with the decimal value as the numerator and a 1 followed by the same number of zeros as the denominator. In this case, since the decimal is 0.350, we can write it as 350/1000.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, both the numerator (350) and denominator (1000) can be divided by 50, resulting in 7/20.
So, the decimal 0.350 can be converted to the fraction 7/20.
