Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we are going to look at converting fractions to decimals.

 

This is an important skill when we want to compare fractions and decimals.

 

The fraction

 

2
10

 

 means 2 ÷ 10 and is therefore 0.2 written as a decimal.

 

 

The fraction

 

2
7

 

written as a decimal is less obvious.

 

To convert this fraction we can use the bus stop method or use a calculator.

 

We have to do the calculation 2 ÷ 7 = 0.286 to 3 decimal places.

 

Let's try some questions.
