Instructions and Help about Can Form 8865 Fraction

I'll now show you how to convert a fraction into a decimal and, if we have time, maybe we'll learn how to do a decimal into a fraction. So, let's start with what I would say is a fairly straightforward example. Let's start with the fraction 1/2 and I want to convert that into a decimal. The method I'm going to show you will always work. What you do is you take the denominator and divide it into the numerator. Let's see how that works. So, we take the denominator, which is 2, and we're going to divide that into the numerator, which is 1. You're probably saying, "How do I divide 2 into 1?" Well, if you remember from the dividing decimals module, we can just add a decimal point here and add some trailing zeroes. We haven't actually changed the value of the number, but we're just getting some precision here. We put the decimal point here. 2 goes into 1, does 2 go into 1? No. 2 goes into 10, so we go 2 goes into 10, 5 times. 5 times 2 is 10, remainder 0. We're done. So, 1/2 is equal to 0.5. Let's do a slightly harder one. Let's figure out one-third. Well, once again, we take the denominator, which is 3, and we divide it into the numerator. I'm just going to add a bunch of trailing zeroes here. 3 goes into 1, does 3 go into 1? No. 3 goes into 10, three times. 3 times 3 is 9. Subtract, get a 1, bring down the 0. 3 goes into 10, three times. And actually, this decimal point is right here. 3 times 3 is 9. Okay, do you see a pattern here? We keep getting the same thing. As you see, it's...
