In baseball, a player’s batting average compares the number of hits with the number of times the player has been at bat. The statistics on the next slide are for the 2006 Major League Baseball season.

Batting Average (thousandths)
Player Hits At Bats Batting Average (thousandths) Miguel Cabrera Ichiro Suzuki Hits at Bats 195 576 195 576 195 ÷ 576 ≈ 0.339 224 695 224 695 224 ÷ 695 ≈ 0.322 To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

Example 1: Writing Fractions as Decimals
Write each fraction as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. 1 4 9 5 5 3 A. B. C. 1 .8 1 .6 6 6 0.2 5 1.00 4 5 9.0 3 5.000 – 8 – 3 – 5 20 40 20 – 20 – 40 – 18 20 – 18 1 4 9 5 = 1.8 5 3 = 0.25 20 ≈ 1.67 – 18 2

I try! Practice Write each fraction as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. 3 4 6 5 7 3 1a: 1b: 1c:
9
The decimals 0.75 and 1.2 in Example 1 are terminating decimals because the decimals comes to an end. The decimal 0.333…is a repeating decimal because the decimal repeats a pattern forever. You can also write a repeating decimal with a bar over the repeating part. 0.333… = 0.3 0.8333… = 0.83 … = 0.72
