Learning Objective
I can convert decimals to fractions with denominators of 10 or 100.
- 1
Fractions with a bottom number that is a power of 10 are easy to convert into a decimal number because there are number places for counting base 10 fractions.
- 2
To convert from a decimal number to a fraction, the decimal digits become the top number of the fraction, and the bottom number is based on the smallest number place from the decimal.
- 3
To convert tenths, put the top number in the tenths place; to convert hundredths, use both the tenths and hundredths places together.
