When translating decimal fractions in the usual in the numerator of the fraction write the number
what is after the decimal, and the bit unit in the denominator ( and so on) contains the same number of zeros as digits after the decimal point in decimal fractions.

Examples convert the decimal fractions in the usual

For example, fractions cannot be extended to the denominator turned out
10, 100, 1000, etc., Such fractions will be dealt with in high school.

To convert fractions to decimals, you need to:

  • to expand on this number so that the denominator was equal to 10, 100, 1000, etc.
  • and then the resulting common fraction convert to decimal

Examples of converting fractions to decimal

Example 2: Turn an ordinary fraction to a decimal:

Example 3: Translate a common fraction into a decimal:

In the case of a mixed number, expand the fractional part and the integer part does not change.
