How do you write a decimal as a fraction?

Answer 2

Decimals represent tenths, hundreds, thousandths, and smaller fractions. You hear it when you say that 0.6 is "six tenths" (6/10).

Write out your decimal value as the numerator. Count the number of places after the decimal point, and make the value of 10 that has the same number of zeroes your denominator.

Examples:

For 0.6 the numerator is 6

There is one place after the decimal, so with one zero, the denominator is 10.

The fraction becomes 6/10, reducible to 3/5

For 0.06, the 6 is again the numerator, but we have two places after the decimal, so the denominator has to have two zeroes, the value being 100.

The fraction is 6/100, reducible to 3/50 or three fiftieths.

For 0.10256, the numerator is 10256

The denominator will have 5 zeroes.

The fraction becomes 10256/100000 which reduces (divide top and bottom by 16) to 641/6250 - make the division to check your answer.

For mixed numbers, such as 2.25, leave the 2 alone and just convert the decimal.

2.25 = 2 and 25/100 = 2 1/4

Answer 3

Divide the numerator by the denominator and express it as a decimal number (it may not be an exact number, so you may have to decide the number of decimal places).

Examples:

For the fraction 1/2, you would divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (2) and the answer turns out to be a decimal, exactly 0.5

For 5/8, the decimal is exactly 0.625

For 1/3, the decimal repeats, so it could be 0.33 or 0.3333 (repeats infinitely)

Answer 4

A decimal with 1 digit after the decimal point (such as 0.6) will be the number after the point over ten (6 over 10). A decimal with 2 is over 100, 3 is over 1,000, and so on. Remember to simplify the fraction after you convert it to fraction (if necessary).

Answer 5

1. It is either , whatever u do to the denominator for example timsing it or dividing it then do it to the top to convert your answer so the it is equivalent. by the way if the fractions are equivalent then it will be an equal sign.

Answer 6

by dividing the numerator into the denominator. Then you move the decimal 2 places to the left!!!

Answer 7

For example:

67/98 / = over

Ok, to write this as a decimal we simply divide 67/98.

Which is: 0.68367346938776
