Write the following fraction as a decimal:
First let's write the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:
Since the fraction is divisible by 10, we'll move the decimal point once to the left to obtain:
9.3
Write the following fraction as a decimal:
\( \frac{5}{100}= \)
Dividing by 10 makes numbers smaller, so the decimal point moves left! Think of it as: each digit moves one place value down (tens become ones, ones become tenths).
If the denominator isn't 10, 100, or 1000, you'll need to use long division instead of just moving the decimal point. This shortcut only works with powers of 10!
For 10: move 1 place left
For 100: move 2 places left
For 1000: move 3 places left
Count the zeros in the denominator!
That's fine! Improper fractions (numerator larger than denominator) just give you decimals greater than 1. Follow the same rule: = 9.3
Yes! Writing 93 as 93.0 helps you see where to place the decimal point. You can always add zeros after the decimal without changing the value.
