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 0.07 in fraction notation?
Notation with a decimal point is called decimal for a reason. Every step after the point is a fraction of 10 more.0.1 = 1/100.01 = 1/1000.001 = 1/1000 etc.0.01 = 1/100 so 0.07 = 7/100
Which fraction is equivalent?
Every fraction has infinitely many fractions that areequivalent to it. So every fraction is equivalent.Every fraction has infinitely many fractions that areequivalent to it. So every fraction is equivalent.Every fraction has infinitely many fractions that areequivalent to it. So every fraction is equivalent.Every fraction has infinitely many fractions that areequivalent to it. So every fraction is equivalent.
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.
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.
Is it true that every rational number is an integer?
No because it could be a fraction or a decimal

Every terminating or repeating decimal represents a rational number and can be changed to a what?
Every rational number can be expressed as a fraction
