So now, I want to go over some more examples on changing decimals into fractions. In our first example, we have 0.3. The important thing to look at is the last digit all the way to the right. Notice that our last digit, 3, is one unit to the right of the decimal. In the example I wrote for you on the bottom left part of the screen, notice how one digit to the right of the decimal is your tenths unit. So, we know that this 3, which is one unit to the right of the decimal, is also our tens unit. And since our last digit is the tenths unit, our fraction is also going to be out of ten. How many tens do we have? We have three tens. And you always need to simplify or reduce the fraction as much as possible. This fraction is already in lowest terms, so this is our final answer. Moving on to our next example, here we have 0.025. Once again, the important thing to look at is the last digit to the right of the decimal. Notice that our last digit to the right is 5, and it is three units to the right of the decimal. From the example I wrote for you on the bottom left part of the screen, the third unit to the right of the decimal is your thousandth unit. So, our last digit in this example, 5, is in the thousandths unit. And since the last digit is in the thousandths unit, we know that our fraction is going to be out of a thousand. How many thousands do we have? We have 25 thousands. In the numerator, I'm going to put 25, and we always simplify the fraction as much as possible. Notice...
