Happy Monday everyone and welcome back to "Katie's Contemplations Math Monday Blogs." I hope everyone is ready to learn some math because today we have a great topic! Here's our main question... "How do you convert a decimal into a fraction?"
Let's start here...
.1 = 1/10 .01 = 1/100 .001 = 1/1000 .0001 = 1/10000
Get it? It's ok if you don't... I didn't describe it that well. Here, if you have .50 of a pizza, that mean you have 1/2. If you have .75 of the pizza, that means you have 3/4 of the pizza. Think about it this way, how much money is a quarter worth? That's right, 25 cents or .25. How many quarters does it take to make a dollar? 4, because 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 100. Now let's say that we put a decimal place in-front-of 25 so now it's .25. Add .25 together four times and get 1.00. So when you have a decimal in the tenth place, like this .2, put it over a ten... 2/10 (or simplified 1/5.) When the the number is in the hundreths place like this, .02, put it over one hundred... 2/100. Just work hard and ask questions and you'll for sure get it.
