Do you see any relation between the number of decimal places and the number of zeros in the denominator?

Not necessarily.
1/7 = 0.142857142857... infinitely many decimal places.
1/3 = 0.333.... infinitely many decimal places.
1/5 = 0.2
No zeros in the denominator in any of the three but number of decimal places range from 1 to infinitely many.

When converting a decimal to a fraction what determines the denominator of the fraction?
The denominator of the fraction is determined by the number of decimal places in the decimal number. If there is one decimal place, the denominator will be 10. If there are two decimal places, the denominator will be 100, and so on.
Why can a decimal greater than 1 be a repeating decimal?
Any rational number, whose denominator has a prime factor other than 2 or 5 will have a decimal representation which is repeating. The size of the number, in relation to 1, is irrelevant.
What is a number that can be written as a terminating decimal or a ratio between two numbers except if the denominator is zero?
A rational number.
What is the denominator for the decimal number 4279?
For 0.4279, the denominator would be 10000.
What is relation between decimal and square feet?
None. A decimal is a pure (dimensionless) number whereas a square foot is a measure of area, with dimension [L2]. Since their dimensions are different, there can be no direct relation between the two.

What is a fraction tht has a numerator and a denominator or both?
Complex fraction Complex fraction - A complex fraction is a fraction where the numerator and/or denominator are a fraction. Decimal - A decimal is a number based on the number 10. It can be thought of as a special type of fraction where the denominator is a power of 10. Decimal point - A period or dot that is part of a decimal number.

How do you find a fraction to a decimal?
Divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number) and you will get a decimal number.
How can i get a denominator of a decimal?
Count the number of digits after the decimal point. The denominator is 1 followed by the same number of 0s.So, for example, 12.0356 has 4 digits after the decimal place. Therefore the denominator is 10000, and the rational form is 120356/10000
How do you create an equivalente representation for a decimal when given the fraction?
To convert a fraction into a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). When the fraction is as simple as possible (no common factor between the numerator and denominator other than 1) and the denominator has any prime factor other than 2 and 5, the resulting decimal will be recurring.
How to change a fraction into a decimal?
Divide the top number (denominator) by the bottom number (denominator). example: Convert 3/4 to a decimal: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
How do you convert a fraction into a decimal number divide the denominator by the numerator?
No. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
What does the decimal part of a decimal number represent?
A proper fraction in which the denominator is a power of 10.
