How do you convert 0.012 into a fraction?
12 over 1000 (.1 is 1/10 .01 is 1/100 and .001 is 1/1000) If you
multiply .012 by 1000 you will get 12 (a whole number without a
remainder.) Which is why 12 divided by 1000 equals .012 or 12/1000
= .012 Just like each place number before a decimal is a multiple
of 10 (eg 1, 10, 100, 1,000 etc) so each place number after a
decimal is a devision of 10 as shown above.
