Pre-Algebra: Lesson 051

Decimal Concept
Converting Decimals to Fractions

Lesson Description

Students use the place value chart to convert decimals to fractions or mixed numbers. The given decimals are taken to the tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or ten-thousandths places, and the resulting fractions or mixed numbers must sometimes be reduced to lowest terms. For example, the decimal 0.4 means 4 tenths, or 4/10, which reduces to 2/5.
