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.
