To write a decimal for a fraction with a denominator of 5, you double the numerator and a decimal point in front of it if the numerator is less than 5. For example, 1/5 becomes .2 (1*2=2). 2/5 becomes .4, 3/5 becomes .6 and so on. When the numerator is greater than 5, you still double the numerator but move the decimal only one place to the left. For example, 6/5 becomes 1.2 (6*2=12). 7/2 becomes 1.4, 8/5 becomes 1.6 and so on.
You get a denominator of the form (2^a)*(5^b) where a and b are non-negative integers.
You write that as 5 / 10, then simplify.(And if the decimal number has two decimal places - for example 0.72 - you put 100 in the denominator. If the decimal number has three decimal places, you put 1000 in the denominator, etc.)
6/10 = 3/5 because in the decimal 0.6 6 is in the tenths place the denominator is 10 and if you can simplify the fraction(divide) then do so as shown above.
The numerator of the fraction is the decimal number WITHOUT the decimal point. The denominator of the fraction is 1 followed by the same number of 0s as there were digits after the decimal point in the original number. Then simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by any common fractions - they will be 2 (or 2*2 or 2*2*2 etc) or 5 (or 5*5 or 5*5*5 etc). Here, number of digits after the decimal point is 2. So denominator = 100. So the fraction is 78/100. Simplifying, 78/100 = 39/50.
To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). To convert a percentage to a decimal divide it by 100. (A percentage is the numerator of a fraction with 100 as the denominator.)
You get a denominator of the form (2^a)*(5^b) where a and b are non-negative integers.
3 as an improper fraction with a denominator of 5 = 15/5
The fraction will be 5 over 5. The numerator will be five, and the denominator will be five.
You can get a repeating fraction with any denominator whose prime factors include some numbers other than 2 or 5. This is because 2 and 5 are the prime factors of 10 - the base of our decimal system. In this case, the denominator can be any of: 3, 6, 7, 9
To convert a fraction into a decimal, simply divide its numerator by its denominator. For example to convert 5/8 to a decimal, divide 5 by 8 to get 0.625.
A fraction has a numerator set above its denominator If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4 which as a decimal is 0.75 If the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 5/4 which as a decimal is 1.25
You write that as 5 / 10, then simplify.(And if the decimal number has two decimal places - for example 0.72 - you put 100 in the denominator. If the decimal number has three decimal places, you put 1000 in the denominator, etc.)
Any decimal that ends in the thousandths place will have 1000 as a denominator when it is written as a fraction. 1000 is divisible by 2 and 5.
The fraction 5/7 written as a decimal is 0.714285.
Write the five as the whole number before the decimal point then divide the numerator (eight) by the denominator (ten) of the fraction and put it after the decimal point: 58/10 = 5 + (8 ÷ 10) = 5.8
6/10 = 3/5 because in the decimal 0.6 6 is in the tenths place the denominator is 10 and if you can simplify the fraction(divide) then do so as shown above.
for a fraction-decimal carry out the problem. 4/5=4 divided by 5= 0.8 for a decimal-percentage times the decimal by 100. 0.8*100=80% for a fraction-percentage make the denominator 100 and the numerator becomes the percentage. numerator/denominator (remember that any action that you carry out on one you must do the same on the other) 4/5... (4*x)/(5*x[when 20*5=100]... (20*4)/(5*20)=80/100=80%
