We can use this number line to convert fractions into decimals.
From the number line, we know that
¾ = 0.75
This also means that.....
1¾ = 1.75
2¾ = 2.75
3¾ = 3.75
4¾ = 4.75 etc...
We can see that it is simple to convert between fractions and decimals using tenths.
4.6 means 4 whole numbers and 6 tenths, which we can write as 4 and 6/10
3.5 means 3 whole numbers and 5 tenths, which we can write as 3 and 5/10 or simplify to make 3 and 1/2
2 and 2/10 means 2 whole numbers and 2 tenths, which we can write as 2.2
