Understanding Decimals and Fractions
- Decimals represent parts of a whole number using a base-10 system. The decimal point separates whole numbers from fractional parts.
- Fractions represent parts of a whole number using a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number). The denominator tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into, and the numerator tells you how many of those parts you have.
Converting Decimals to Fractions
To convert a decimal to a fraction, follow these steps:
- Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1: 0.25/1
- Multiply both the numerator and denominator by a power of 10 that eliminates the decimal: In this case, multiply by 100: (0.25 * 100) / (1 * 100) = 25/100
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor: The greatest common factor of 25 and 100 is 25. Dividing both by 25 gives us 1/4.
Therefore, 0.25 is equivalent to the fraction 1/4.
