1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.
Equivalent fractions do.
There are essentially three forms:Terminating decimals: 386 or 23.567,Recurring decimals: 36.572343434... (with 34 repeating),Non-terminating infinite decimals: these represent irrational numbers for which the digits after the decimal point go on for ever without falling into a repeating pattern.
It is a ratio.
Write a decimal point, and then write three zeros after it.Now, anything you write after the three zeros, no matter how many digits andno matter how large or small they are, forms a number written as a decimal thatis less than one thousandth.There are an infinite number of them. Here are three:0.00010.00097625940.00000000000008
Fractions and decimals are alike because you can make a fraction into a decimal (here's an exanple; 1/2 can be made into 0.5) and vice versa. The only difference is the different forms they are written in; a fraction is written in fraction form and a decimal is written in decimal form.
You only put digits or decimal points in them. If they are only taking whole numbers, then you won't even put in a decimal point in them.
Because when you change a fraction into a decimal and change the decimal into a percent it all adds up... Let me explain... 1/2 is a fraction The decimal of 1/2 is 0.5 Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and you get the percent of 0.5 which is 50%. Fractions and decimals are the same, they're just used in different forms.
I suppose, in a technical sense. "Decimal form" is said by teachers and textbooks when speaking in contrast to "fractional form". 4500 is in either both forms or neither forms, but 'decimal form' isn't a real mathematical 'form' but a choice of expression. 4500.0 is decimal form. 4500/1 is fractional form. Decimals make percentages easier. Fractions make dividing easier.
