When Form 8865 Fraction 2023-2024

So, welcome to my video on changing decimals to fractions. It is really important to have your units memorized for this process. To assist you, I have provided an example on the bottom left part of the screen. The example is 0.123. Let's analyze the units in this decimal. The first unit to the right of the decimal is the tenths unit. The second unit to the right of the decimal is the hundredths unit. The third unit to the right of the decimal is the thousandths unit. Memorizing these units is crucial. Once you have memorized them, changing decimals to fractions becomes a quick task. Let's start with an example. We have 0.35. The key is to focus on the last unit on the right side of the decimal. In this case, that unit is two units to the right of the decimal. Referring to the previous example, we know that the second unit to the right of the decimal is the hundredths unit. Therefore, in this example, the last unit, which is 5, is the hundredths unit. Now, let's label it for easy reference. Since the last unit is the hundredths unit, we can create a fraction with a denominator of 100. The numerator will be 35, representing the 35 hundredths. Once you convert the decimal to a fraction, remember to simplify or reduce it to its lowest terms. Notice that both 35 and 100 can be evenly divided by 5. Therefore, divide both the numerator and denominator by 5. After simplifying the fraction, the numerator becomes 7 (35 divided by 5) and the denominator becomes 20 (100 divided by 5). So, the decimal 0.35 can be written as the fraction 7/20. If you enjoyed this video, check out more videos with additional example problems related to this...
