Question

How to change fractions into Decimals and Decimals into fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

In fractions, the numerator is the number above the line and the denominator is the number below.

The line in a fraction that separates the numerator and the denominator represents division.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

How to convert fractions to decimals

A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator and a denominator. It is used to represent how many parts we have out of the total number of parts.

The line in a fraction that separates the numerator and denominator can be rewritten using the division symbol.

So, to convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. If required, you can use a calculator to do this. This will give us our answer as a decimal.

Examples

fractions into Decimals

⁴/₅ as a decimal is 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

⁷⁵/₁₀₀ as a decimal is 75 ÷100 = 0.75

³/₆ as a decimal is 3 ÷ 6 = 0.5

Decimals into fractions

Since 1.75 has 2 numbers after the decimal point, we will divide it by 100 in order to remove the decimal. 

Hence, we get: 1.75 = 175/100

Now, dividing both sides by a common factor of 25, we will get: 

175/100 = 7/4

Answer 2

Changing fractions into decimals:

For changing fractions into decimals, we have to:

• Make the denominator 10 or 100 or 1000 or ... (based on the denominator) by multiplying it.

• Based on the number of zeroes in the the denominator we have to make the decimal number.

Changing decimals into fractions:

For changing decimals into fractions, we have to write the fraction based on the number of decimal places.

Example:

$0.63 = \frac{63}{100} \\ 23.528 = \frac{2358}{1000}$
