1. You look at the number you want to simplify
2. take the next number in order to find out how you round the number
1-4 the number stays the same, 5+ round up
example: 4.5357425353
- If you want to round to the nearest hundredth,
the hundredth is 3. So go to the next number, 5. Because the number is 5, you round up so the number becomes 4.54
- To round to the nearest ten-thousandths, you look at the ten-thousandths number, 7. Go to the next number, 4. Because the next number is 4, the number stays the same: 4.53574.
1.1, as a decimal number, cannot be simplified.
Take the decimal and multiply by 10. Then put that new number over 100, then simplify.
That depends on the type of problem and what the remander is.. But in some cases the remander is a fraction of a number.. Making it a decimal to simplify it
which mixed number or improper fraction is closest to the decimal 5.27?
You write that as 5 / 10, then simplify.(And if the decimal number has two decimal places - for example 0.72 - you put 100 in the denominator. If the decimal number has three decimal places, you put 1000 in the denominator, etc.)

You write the decimal in the numerator, WITHOUT the decimal point. In the denominator, you write a "1", followed by as many zeros as there are digits after the decimal point in the original number. Finally, simplify the fraction if it can be simplified.For example: to convert 2.15 into a fraction, you write this as 215/100, then simplify.
which mixed number or improper fraction is closest to the decimal 5.27?
This number, 2266, is already in simplest for. You see, there is no fraction, decimal or any other indicator to help simplify this number.
You write that as 5 / 10, then simplify.(And if the decimal number has two decimal places - for example 0.72 - you put 100 in the denominator. If the decimal number has three decimal places, you put 1000 in the denominator, etc.)
You can't simplify a decimal.
You mean fraction. Fractor isn't a word at all. To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, first multiply the decimal by 100. Ignore the digits on the right side of the decimal point and keep the number that is on the left side of the decimal point. Divide this number by 99 and simplify if necessary to get the fraction.
This means 120 divided by 80 You can simplify it to 3/2 or 1.5 as a decimal.
Take the number before the decimal point as the whole number. Take the part after the decimal point. As it has been measured it will be a terminating decimal so put it over 1 followed by the same number of zeros as digits in the decimal number and simplify to make the fractional bit. eg measured as 2.75 would be 2 75/100 = 2 3/4
