    Convert Decimals To Fractions

    Uploaded by

    Kenneth Villegas
    This document provides instructions for converting decimals to fractions. It begins by explaining how to convert terminating decimals by looking at the place value of the last digit to determine the denominator and using that digit as the numerator. For non-terminating decimals, it explains that the repeating digits should be written as the numerator over a number of 9s equal to how many digits repeat. This fraction is then reduced if possible to write the decimal as a rational number. Examples are provided step-by-step to demonstrate this process.

    Convert Decimals

    to Fractions

    Focus 4 - Learning Goal #1: Students will know that there


    are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them with
    rational numbers.

    In addition to
    level 3.0 and
    above and
    beyond what
    was taught in
    class,
    students
    may:
    -Make
    connection
    with other
    concepts in
    math.
    - Make
    connection
    with other
    content
    areas.

    Students will
    know that there
    are numbers that
    are not rational,
    and approximate
    them with rational
    numbers.
    - Convert a
    decimal
    expansion that
    repeats into a
    fraction.
    - Approximate the
    square root of a
    number to the
    hundredth &
    explain the
    process.
    - For all items
    listed as a 2,
    students can
    explain their
    process.

    Students will
    know the
    subset of real
    numbers.
    - Know that all
    numbers have
    a decimal
    expansion.
    - Compare the
    size of
    irrational
    number.
    - Locate
    approximately
    irrational
    numbers on a
    number line.

    With help
    from the
    teacher, I
    have partial
    success
    with level 2
    and 3.

    Even with help,


    students have
    no success
    with the unit
    content.

    What I already know


    0.5 = 0.75 = 0.125 = 1/8
    Use the place value of the last digit to determine the
    denominator. Drop the decimal and use that number as the
    numerator.
    In the decimal 0.5 the 5 is in the tenths place so the
    denominator will be 10.
    The numerator will be 5. So the fraction is 5/10 which reduces
    to .
    In the decimal 0.75 the last digit is in the hundredths place
    so the denominator will be 100.
    The numerator will be 75. So the fraction is 75/100 which
    reduces to .
    In the decimal 0.125 the last digit is in the thousandths place
    so the denominator will be 1000.
    The numerator will be 125. So the fraction is 125/1000 which
    reduces to

    /8.

    What about nonterminating decimals?


    How do you convert
    0.1111111111.to a
    fraction?
    We are told that
    repeating decimals are
    rational numbers.
    However, to be a
    rational number it must
    be able to be written as
    a fraction of a/b.

    Steps to change a nonterminating decimal to a fraction:


    Convert 0.111111111 to a fraction
    How many digits are repeating?
    1 digit repeats

    Place the repeating digit over that many 9s.

    /9

    Reduce, if possible.
    This means that the fraction 1/9
    is equal to 0.111111
    With your calculator, divide 1 by 9.
    What do you get?

    Try the steps


    again:
    Convert 0.135135135 to a fraction.
    How may digits are repeating?
    3 digits repeat.

    Place the repeating digits over that many


    9s.

    /999

    135

    Reduce if possible.
    This means that the fraction 135/999 which
    reduces to 5/37 is equal to 0.135135135
    With your calculator, divide 135 by 999.
    What do you get?
    Divide 5 by 37. What do you get?

    One more time together:


    Convert 4.78787878 to a fraction.
    How many digits are repeating.
    2 digits repeat.

    Place the repeating digits over that many 9s.

    78

    /99

    Reduce if possible.
    Divide the numerator and denominator by 3.

    This means that the fraction 4 78/99 reduces to


    4 26/33 is equal to 4.7878
    With your calculator, divide 78 by 99.
    What do you get?
    Divide 26 by 33. What do you get?

    Your turn.
    Change the following repeating
    decimals to fractions.

    1. 0.4444444
    1. 4/9

    2. 1.54545454.
    1.

    154

    /99 = 1

    /99
