Graphing a decimal is very similar to graphing whole numbers, except you need a finer scale on each axis. If you are graphing decimals below one (e.g. 0.1 or 0.25), then your axis may have ten ticks (cross lines on the axis) between zero and one. Each of these is one tenth. So 0.1 would be graphed at one tenth of the distance between zero and one, or "one tick" up from zero, in this case. Similarly, 0.25 would be marked at one quarter of the way up the axis between zero and one, two and a half ticks up from zero. If you have decimals greater than zero, such as 2.5, then this would be marked half way between the two and the three, because five tenths is equal to a half. It is easier to explain graphically, but I hope this helps.

Graph it as a fraction
How do you put decimal into a graph?
By picking numbers and graphing it loser! hehehehhe
How do you list a decimal on a graph?
You list it the same way you would list any other value.
When making a graph what must be done when numbering each axis?
When making a graph there are certain requirements for ensuring the graph will be accurate. When numbering each axis it is important to ensure that there are the same number of decimal points as what coincides with the data that is recorded.
When is a bar graph a better choice than a pictograph?
when displaying very small fractional or decimal values
How would you graph a negative fraction on a number line?
Turn the fraction into a decimal and place it on the left side of zero where it fits.
What is the formula for finding an angle in a circle graph?
get a protractor, then multiply your decimal by 360 degrees. Then take that number and find it with the protractor.
How many solutions are ther for slope lines have?
The slope of a line on a graph can be zero, or any positive or negative real whole number or fraction or decimal.
How do you convert numbers to degrees to make a circle graph?
once you have the percentage of a number you turn it into a decimal and multiply it by 360. for example. if your percent is 36% you make that .36 which is the decimal form of that percent as well as .59 is the decimal form for 59%. so next you multiply .36 by 360 360 x .36= 129.6 which is your degree.
What are the disadvantages of a line graph?
extremely inaccurate if you try to draw it freehand and extremely inconvenient if you have to plot fractions or decimal numbers
What are the five parts of a graph?
the five graph is line graph,bar graph,pictograph,pie graph and coin graph
