What is the difference between a ratio and a decimal?
For example, lets say we have the fraction 70 over 10. The decimal form for that would be 7 tenths (.7) but the ratio could either be 70 percent, .7, and 7 to 3.
How many tenths in 4 over 8?
4/8 = 0.5 so that there are five tenths.

4 over 7
What is 0.0002 as a ratio?
Count over from the decimal place, tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths. 2/10000 reduces to 1/5000
How many tenths are there in 3 wholes 3 over 5?
Answer: 36 tenths Explanation: Well the first part to working this out is understanding that there are 10 tenths in a whole. So 3 wholes is 30 tenths. The second part is 3 over 5 or 3/5. To write this in tenths you have to effectively double it (if you double the denominator you must double the numerator) What ever you do to the top you must do to the bottom and vice versa. So that 3 over five becomes six over ten. Add them together now you can add these fractions because they are over the same denominator (their bottom number is the same) 30 tenths plus 6 tenths equals 36 tenths.
