A fraction is a part of something. For example: a round, flat pie on a plate is 100% of the whole pie. If the pie is cut into ten slices, each slice is a tenth or 1/10 (one over ten) as a fraction of the whole pie. Therefore, 5 slices is 5/10 (five over ten) which is also half of the whole pie.
A proper fraction, that is, one with no whole number part, for which the denominator of the fraction is an integral power of ten, may be converted to a decimal of the form: decimal point followed by one fewer zeros than the power of ten in the denominator, followed by the numerator of the fraction.
It is ten eights, or one and two eights or one and a quarter or 1.25 as a decimal.
Ten hours is not a fraction of one minute. Ten hours is six hundred minutes. One minute is one six-hundredth of ten hours.
