In this activity, we will be learning to convert decimals to fractions.
We can convert this decimal to a fraction:
1.1 = ?
1.1 = one whole and one tenth
1.1 = 1 and 1/10
How about this one?
0.72 = ?
This time, there are no ones and 72 hundredths.
We write this as 72/100
Let's try an example.
Example
Lucy writes a fraction as the decimal 0.2.
What fraction is Lucy thinking of?
Answer
The decimal 0.2 has a two in the tenths place.
There are no ones.
0.2 = 2/10 or two tenths
Now it's your turn!
