Convert fractions to decimals
Definition:
When we convert a fraction to a decimal, we divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.Ways to convert:
- Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100 or any 1 followed by 0s.
- Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.
- Step 3. Then write down just the top number, putting the decimal point in the correct spot (one space from the right
hand side for every zero in the bottom number)
- Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100 or any 1 followed by 0s.
For example:
Convert 3/4 to a Decimal- Step 1: We can multiply 4 by 25 to become 100
- Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 25
- Step 3: Write down 75 with the decimal point 2 spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros);
==> Answer = 0,75
- Step 1: We can multiply 4 by 25 to become 100
