Stuck on changing a decimal fraction to a common fraction? This short video by Let’s do Math explains this concept.
Let’s get back to basics. Fractions are parts of a whole, and so decimals are also parts of a whole. A number can be shown as both a decimal and a fraction. When working with decimals, it is important to work with a place value chart. You can even draw one out as shown in this video.
As seen in the video, the digit right after the decimal point, becomes your numerator and to find your denominator, just decide whether your number is in the tenths, hundredths or thousandths column.
After viewing our video, have fun practicing this important Mathematical skill.
