How do you turn decimals to fractions?

Answer 1

YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DIVIDE FIRST!!

you divide the denominator (the bottom half)

by the denominator numerator (top half)

example: 1/4

Do this with me on paper!! WRITE: 4|1 (the | represents the division symbol)

As you can see, 4 can not go into 1 so put a decimal point (dot) behind the one.

Put a decimal point (over the line) above the decimal point behind the one.

Ok. Now put a zero behind the one. Four can go into 10. 4 times 2 equals 8.

So, 4 can go into 10 two times. Put a 2 behind the decimal point (the

decimal point above the line). Under the 10 do subtract 8.

You subtract 8 since 4 times 2 equals 8. 10-8=2. So now you have a

remainder 2. We do not want that. Put another zero behind the

previous zero. Bring down the zero so it is next to the 2. 4 goes

- 8 into 20 how many times? (20 divided by 4, 4 times ___ = 20)

20 divided by 4=5. 4 times 5 =20. So put a 5 next to the 2.

(the 2 above the line).

Put a subtract 20 under the 20. What is 20 minus 20? 0.

.25 is your answer. (This isnt that hard. I just explained it in detail).

If you are good at division. This should be a piece of cake.

Hoped I explained it clearly.

1/4 EQUALS .25

Sometimes, the same digit in the answer will go on forever. In this case, you will put a bar (line) over the digit.

Example: 0.3333333333 ... (the 3's go on forever) can become 0.3 with a bar on top of the 3.

Sometimes, if a hole phrase is endlessly repeated, then you put a bar on top of that entire phrase.

Example 0.37489489489489489489 ... (the 489's go on forever) can become 0.37489 with a bar on top of the 489.

For example, the problem 6/27. 27 can not go into 6. so make six into 60. (you know how to do it! if u read above.) 27 times 2 equals 54.

DO THE PROBLEM.

your answer goes on forever. it should be .22222222222222 . . . (keeps going on).

Answer 2

so if you have 0.9 its nine over ten because after the point its ten then hundredths then thousandths then tenthousandths or if you have somthing like 123.78 its one thousand 2 hundred thirty and seventine eighty PS the front is the same thing as the back.

dont lisen to it ^

it does not work

Answer 3

Here is an example: 0.85, 5 is in the hundredths place. You find the the fraction would be 85 over 100. If it were 134.567845 the fraction would be 134 wholes and 567,845 over 1,000,000. Then you have to simplify your answer so 85 over 100 would be 17 over 20 because 85 and 100 both go into 5 so 85 divided by 5 is 17 and 100 divided by 5 is 20
