Understanding Fraction to Decimal Conversion
Converting fractions to decimals is a fundamental mathematical skill. Here's how it works:
Quick Method:
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator. For example:
- 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
- 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
- 2/5 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
Types of Decimal Results:
- • Terminating decimals: Numbers that end (like 0.5, 0.75)
- • Repeating decimals: Numbers that repeat infinitely (like 1/3 = 0.333...)
