In this activity, we will write decimal numbers as mixed numbers with fractions.
Remember that the numbers on the left-hand side of the decimal point are whole numbers, and the numbers on the right-hand side are tiny parts of a number.
We also need to remember that the numbers on the right-hand side of the decimal point go in the order tenths, hundredths, thousandths etc.
Examples
Write the decimal numbers as mixed fractions.
9.045 = 9 whole numbers and 045 thousandths.
9.045 = 9 45/1000
4.123 = 4 whole numbers and 123 thousandths.
4.123 = 4 123/1000
9.04 = 9 whole numbers and 04 hundredths.
9.04 = 9 4/100
4.1 = 4 whole numbers and 1 tenth.
4.1 = 4 1/10
This might look a bit scary, but it's actually not that tricky if you look carefully at the place value of the numbers on the right-hand side of the decimal point.
We've included a place value chart here in case it's helpful!
Over to you now with the questions!
