Converting decimals to fractions Write a fraction, using the decimal number as the numerator and a power of 10 (10,100,1000 etc.) corresponding to the place value of the last digit of the decimal # as the denominator Example 1 :.25 as a fraction 25 is the numerator In.25 the last digit is in the hundredths place, therefore 100 is the denominator 25 ÷ 25 = ÷ 25 = 4 1/4

Converting decimals to fractions Example 2: set aside the 4 and convert the.375 into a fraction 375 is the numerator. In the decimal #.375, 5 is the last digit & is in the thousandths place, therefore 1000 is the denominator.
