how do u do change decimals to fractions?

Answer 1

divide the top number by the bottom number. ex. 3 over 5 would be 3/5 which is .60

Answer 2

You need to recognize and understand the values to the right of the decimal point: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. For as many places with numbers there are to the right of the decimal point, use that many zeroes after a 1 and divide the number after the decimal point, ignoring the decimal point, by this number. For example .6 ==> one number so use 10 as your divisor and = 6/10 (=3/5) Another: .31 ==> two numbers so use 100, and = 31/100. A third: .07 ==> two numbers so use 100, and = 7/100

Answer 3

okay, you have to divide the top number- numerator- by the bottom number- denominator.
i.e. - 8/10 = 0.8; 7/9 = 0.7777... .
Since someone already said this, I'll give you some extra knowledge that will also be useful in the future:
To make decimals into percents, move the dot- decimal point- to the right two places.
i.e. - 0.8 = 80%; 0.777... = 77.777...%
To find the score of a test ( or any percentage of 100 in general), take the answers you got right over the total answers and cross multiply.
i.e. - _3_ = _x_ multiply crosswize so you
15 100 end up with: 15x = 300

So, next finish the equation.
_15x_ = _300_
15 15
--------------------
x = 20% correct answers.

hope that wasn't too complicated and beside the point...

Answer 4

To change a decimal to a fraction you have to pay attention to the decimal places.

for example: change 0.5 to a fraction, you have to count the decimal places and the 5 is in the tenths place so when you write your fraction it would look like these:

5/10

I hope it helps!! =D

Answer 5

Convert it to obvious fraction by dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc., then reduce to common fractions.
.375 --> 375/1000 = 3/8
.16667 = 16667/100000 = 1/6
