How do you check 0.416 as a fraction?
It is a terminating decimal and so it is a decimal representation of a fraction.
How do you check an equivalent fraction with multiplication and division?
If you start with a fraction p/q and are told that x/y is an equivalent fraction, then the simplest check is to cross-multiply: p*y must be equal to q*x.
How do you test if the fraction are equivalent?
You can check by cross-multiplication. For example, to check whether 1/2 is equivalent to 3/6, multiply 1 x 6 = 6, and 2 x 3 = 6 (the numerator of each fraction with the denominator of the other fraction). Since in this case the results are equal, the two fractions are equivalent.
How do you add decimals together?
to add decimals: -line up the decimal points -then starting at the farthest place to the right, add the decimal in each place -if the sum of the digits in a place are greater than nine,regroup the number to the place to its left. -check the sum by writing each decimal as an equivalent fraction and then adding these numbers or mixed numbers.
How do you make 0.36 into a fraction simplified?
1. Convert the decimal number .36 to a fraction by multiplying it by an equivalent fraction as follows: .36 * 100/100 = 36/100 2. Simplify the fraction to lowest terms: a. find a number that will evenly divide into both the numerator & the denominator (in this case, that number is 4) b. divide the numerator by 4 (i.e. 36/4=9) and divide the denominator by 4 (i.e. 100/4=25). c. Take the results of the above calculations & write your new fraction as: 9/25. d. repeat step 2 until you are unable to find a number that will evenly divide into both the numerator & the denominator. In this case, only 1 iteration is needed because 9/25 is the simplest fraction that is equivalent to .36. 3. Check your fraction to ensure it is equal to the original decimal value by dividing 9 by 25 (e.g. 9/25 = .36 <-- this is equal to the original decimal value, so this check proves you did your factoring & simplification properly).

How can you check if a decimal is equivalent to the fraction?
If you are trying to compare a given decimal to a given fraction, you can divide the fraction out and compare the result to the given decimal. For example, 1/2 = 1 divided by 2. = 0.5 3/4 = 3 divided by 4. = 0.75

What is the fraction 8 over 25 as a percent?
To convert a fraction to a percent, you first divide the numerator by the denominator. And then multiply by 100, which moves your decimal point two places to the right.Another way to do it, or check your answer, is to make the fraction equivalent to a denominator of 100. So if you were to convert 8/25 to X/100, your new numerator would be the percentage.
