1/2 , or, 1/4 or 7/8 etc are fractions.
0.5 , or. 0.25 or 0.875 etc., are decimals.
To covert say 7/8 to a decimal write it as
8)7.00000 ( divide =
8 into 7 won't go , so try
8 intp 7.0 = 8 (remainder 6 So first part of the answer is '8'
Then
8 into 0.60 = 7 (remainder 4. So second part of answer is '7'
Then
8 into 0.040= 5 (No remainder) So third part of answer is 5
Hence 7/8 (fractions) = 0.875 (decimal)
To convert decimal to fraction we note there are three decimal places so we write it as a 'fraction'. 0.875/1.000 . Cancel down the decimal points Hence 875/1000.
This fraction cancels down by '5' hence , because the last number ends in '5' or '0'
175/200
Cancel down by '5' again
35 / 40
Cancel down by '5' again
7/8 as required.
