They are all different ways of saying exactly the same thing.
The three fractions whose decimal equivalent is 0.40 are 4/10. 8/20 and 16/40. There are many more fractions that would have the same decimal result.
Two equivalent fractions are 2 over 12, and 3 over 18. There much more equivalent fractions besides those.
No. Every fraction has a decimal expression but not every decimal has a fractional (rational) equivalent. There are infinitely many fractions: the cardinality of the set of fractions is Ào (Aleph-null). If the set of decimals is considers equivalent to the set of real numbers, then the cardinality of the set is 2À0 !
Fractions that name the same value are called equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators but represent the same proportion of a whole. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent half of a whole.
The equivalent of 0.15748031496 inches in fractions is about 157/1000 of an inch. When there are more than four numbers in a decimal it is better to round to the third or fourth number.

Decimals until you get to values with over nine decimal places, then fractions are more exact

The decimal point is used to show that the number is not whole. Numbers after the decimal point show fractions of the number so there is more accuracy.
Equivalent fractions
Fractions that are not equivalent are dissimilar fractions * * * * * The term is used more commonly to refer to fractions whose denominators are different.
Equivalent to what? No fraction is "equivalent" by itself; you can say that two or more fractions are equivalent, if they represent the same number.
