3. How it Applies If we are looking at 0.9 we are looking at 9 tenths
which can be written as 9/10
If we are looking at 0.09
We are looking at 9 hundredths
Which can be written as 9/100
If we are looking at 0.009
We are looking at 9 thousandth
Which can be written as 9/1000

4. Examples
.99
=99/100
.205
=205/1000 3
=3/1

5. Counting #’s after the decimal
Each decimal is written over a 1 with a set number of 0’s
The amount of 0’s is the number of places after the decimal the number is.
For example ,
there are 4 number places after the decimal
So there will be four 0’s after the 1: 10000
So the fraction would be 356/10000

6. Examples
.0245
=245/10000
=264454/
.23
=23/100
