Objective SWBAT write decimals as fractions.
WHOLE NUMBER a number that is whole (no decimal) and positive. 0, 1, 2, 3, … Remember This???
INTEGER all whole numbers and their opposites. … -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, … Remember This???
Section 5.1, “Rational Numbers” A RATIONAL NUMBER is a number that can be written as a quotient of two integers (a fraction). Numbers that cannot be written as a fraction are called IRRATIONAL. RATIONAL NUMBERS IRRATIONAL NUMBERS

Writing Decimal Numbers As Mixed Numbers Rewrite the decimal number as a sum. Write the decimal as a fraction. -3 “Two-tenths” (3 ) 15 Simplify D F
Practice When writing a decimal as a fraction, say and write the fraction. Then simplify the fraction by dividing common factors
Writing Decimals as Fractions Write the following decimal as a fraction For repeating decimals use the following strategy: Simplify, if possible If there are two repeating digits in the decimal, place the digits over … If there is one repeating digit in the decimal, place the digit over 9. If there are three repeating digits in the decimal, place the digits over 999. D F
