We see numbers everywhere, and we use them too! We see numbers for gas prices, school work, signs, money. A lot of the time, we see either numbers, fractions, or deciamls. A few days ago, I blogged about deciamls and fractions, so we know a little about those and how to translate them.
Sometimes we see numbers behind the decimal point and we get confused, look at it this way. There are millions and millions of numbers behind 1 and in front of 0. That means there is no whole number. To be translated more... that means we have no number in front of the decimal point of to the left of the fraction. Like this...
.50 That means we have half of 1 because it is not 0 but it is not 1.
.75 We have three-quarters of 1 but it is not yet 1 nor 0.
There are so many little numbers in between 1 and 0. If you look closely and make exact measurments when measuring, you'll come across many of them. Remember, fractions and decimals are just pieces, pieces of anything, and you'll see them anywhere. You just have to look just close enough.
