In a nutshell, the answer is no.

Fractions that have the same value as decimals are equal to each other.

They can be when the fraction you're talking about is a greater number than the decimal. For example...

  • 0.25 is exactly the same value as 1/4 (one fourth).
  • 2.5 is exactly the same value as 5/2 (five halves).
  • 0.99 is not the same value as 9/10 (nine tenths). It's greater.
  • 0.48 is not the same value as 1/2 (one half). It's less.

Fractions are not-yet-calculated division statements. 3 divided by 5 is the same as 3/5 which is equal to 0.6 because 3 divided by 5 is 0.6.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
