Not all decimals can be expressed as fractions. Only terminating and recurring decimals can be expressed as fractions.
eg
a recurring decimal:
0.3333333... = 1/3
A terminating decimal:
0.125 = 1/8
A decimal that does not recurr or terminate, cannot be expressed as a fraction.
eg
Pi = 3.141592654...
Pi can not be expressed as a fraction as it does not recurr or terminate.
It can only be approximated to a fraction.
eg
Pi ≈ 355/113 but is correct to 6 decimal places.

Is 0.1a equelivent fraction?
Every fraction is an equivalent fraction: each fraction in decimal form has an equivalent rational fraction as well as an equivalent percentage fraction.
How do you express a percent as a fraction or a mixed number?
The percent sign in every percent means, "out of 100." Therefore, to express a percent as a fraction, simply place the percent number over 100 and simplify if possible. If it is an improper fraction, to change it into a mixed number, see: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_express_a_fraction_into_a_mixed_number&updated=1&waNoAnsSet=2
Does every fraction have an equivalent decimal?
Yes, it may be a repeating decimal, such as 1/3 = 0.33333.... or 1/11 = 0.090909.... or something longer such as 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857.... where the '142857' is the repeating part. But every rational number (eg. fraction) can be mapped to a corresponding decimal equivalent.
What is 261 as a fraction and decimal?
Well, let's take a moment to appreciate the number 261. As a fraction, 261 can be written as 261/1, which is already in its simplest form. And as a decimal, 261 is simply 261.0, showing its full and complete self. Remember, every number is special in its own way, just like you are special too.
What is 182 percent as a fraction?
To convert a percentage to a fraction, you divide the percentage by 100 and simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 182 percent divided by 100 is 1.82. Therefore, 182 percent as a fraction is 182/100, which simplifies to 91/50 in its simplest form.
Can you express every decimal as a fraction?
No, not all can be put to a fraction like in algebra this year we can't.
Is it possible to express every fraction as a decimal without rounding?
As long as you are expressing those fractions in tenths, yes.
How is a decimal similar to fractions?
A decimal is similar to a fraction because they are both part of a whole number, not a whole number, just part of one. For example, 0.5 is the same thing as 1/2 , or half. This means both are only half of a whole number.
How can you find a fraction and a decimal on a number line?
Everywhere. Each and every point on a number line is a fraction and also a decimal.
Is 0.1a equelivent fraction?
Every fraction is an equivalent fraction: each fraction in decimal form has an equivalent rational fraction as well as an equivalent percentage fraction.
Can every rational fraction be written as a repeating decimal?
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
What kind of decimal does every fraction have?
it looks just like a period
What is the conceptual relationship of a fraction and decimal?
What is the difference between a fraction and a decimal? Well it is possible for a fraction changed into a decimal and a decimal changed into a fraction Very true. Though conceptually 2/5 or 4/10 can raise a slightly different picture in the mind than the equivalent 0.4 . The fraction brings out more strongly that 2 in every 5 are being considered, while 0.4 is just a quantity not quite half way on the way from 1 to 10. The nearest that the decimal system approaches the fractional concept is the use of the "percentage" idea.
