Step-by-step explanation:
We often need to rewrite decimals as fractions or mixed numbers. Let’s go back to our lunch order to see how we can convert decimal numbers to fractions. We know that
$
5.03
means
5
dollars and
3
cents. Since there are
100
cents in one dollar,
3
cents means
3
100
of a dollar, so
0.03
=
3
100
.
We convert decimals to fractions by identifying the place value of the farthest right digit. In the decimal
0.03
, the
3
is in the hundredths place, so
100
is the denominator of the fraction equivalent to
0.03
.
0.03
=
3
100
For our
$
5.03
lunch, we can write the decimal
5.03
as a mixed number.
5.03
=
5
3
100
Notice that when the number to the left of the decimal is zero, we get a proper fraction. When the number to the left of the decimal is not zero, we get a mixed number.
