Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    Fractions with a bottom number that is a power of 10 are easy to convert into a decimal number because there are number places for counting base 10 fractions.

  • 2

    To convert from a decimal number to a fraction, the decimal digits become the top number of the fraction, and the bottom number is based on the smallest number place from the decimal.

  • 3

    To convert tenths, put the top number in the tenths place; to convert hundredths, use both the tenths and hundredths places together.
