Fractions to Decimals

We continued to work on converting fractions to decimals.

Need to convert a fraction to a decimal?
Divide the numerator into the denominator

⅔ = 2 divided by 3 = 0.66

Need to convert a decimal to a fraction?
Say the decimal. Place the decimal over the denominator you say, and then reduce.

0.25 = twenty-five hundredths = 25/100 = 1/4

Practice more with this BBC game.

For homework, finish questions 23 - 34.
