If it's a repeating decimal, put the part that repeats over as many 9's as there are repeating digits. For example, if you had 0.345345345..., then you would write 345/999. A decimal that goes forever without a repeating pattern can't be written as a fraction. All other decimals (ones that terminate) are converted the following way: whatever position the last non-zero number lands on determines what number is in the denominator. For example, 0.762 has a 2 in the thousandths position, so 1000 will be in the denominator and 762 will be in the numerator. 5.24 will be written as 5 and 24/100.

How do yo turn a mixed number into a decimal?

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the denominator into the numerator.


How do you turn the decimal 3.56 to a fraction?

To turn the decimal 3.56 into a fraction, we first count the number of decimal places, which is 2. Then, we move the decimal point two places to the right to make it a whole number, which gives us 356. This becomes the numerator of the fraction. The denominator is determined by the number of decimal places, so the fraction is 356/100. Simplifying it further, we get 89/25.

How do you turn a decimal that does not have a whole number into a percent?

To turn a decimal [fraction] into a percent you simply multiply it by 100 and add a percentage sign. If the decimal fraction has two or more digits after the decimal point, then all you need to do is to move the decimal point two digits to the right and add the percent symbol. If the number has only one digit after the decimal point then you need to add a zero and then move the decimal point.Thus:0.3456 = 34.56%0.0345 = 03.45% = 3.45%0.34 = 34%0.3 = 0.30 = 30%


How do you turn 10.6 as a fraction?

You convert 10.6 into a fraction by taking the number on the left of the decimal and write it as a whole number. Then if you know the place values after the decimal point, you would know that 6 is in the tenths place. So the answer is 10 6/10 .
