Can fractions always be written as decimals?
You can always convert a fraction to a decimal. For some fractions, you'll get terminating decimals. For example, 1/8 = 0.125. For other fractions, you get repeating decimals, such as 1/7 = 0.142857 142857 142857...To convert the fraction to a decimal, just divide the numerator by the denominator, for example on a calculator.
What is the relation between decimals and fractions?
Both are ways of representing numbers. Fractions can only be used for rational numbers whereas a decimal representation can also be used for irrational numbers. However, all fractions are exact values whereas any fractions whose denominators has a factor other than 2 or 5, and all irrationals can only be represented by decimals that are infinitely long. Since an infinitely long number cannot be written, the decimals for these numbers are approximations.
