A classmate of yours is confused about how to convert a decimal to a fraction. Write an explanation of this for your classmate, including changing the fraction to lowest terms. (See Objective.)
Convert decimals to fractions. Recall from the previous chapter that place values to the right of the decimal point are named as shown.
A decimal number can be written as a fraction just by reading it. For example, we learned in the previous chapter that the number.025 is read as twenty-five thousandths. Write it is a fraction by placing 25 in the numerator and 1000 in the denominator.
Another method of converting a decimal to a fraction is by first removing the decimal point. The remaining number is the numerator of the fraction. The denominator of the fraction is 1 followed by as many zeros as there were digits to the right of the decimal point in the original number.
