  1. Converting Simple Decimals to Fractions and Vice Versa

  2. Today’s Learning Goals • We will continue to link our understanding of fractions with decimals. • We will continue to develop our understanding of place value when determining the fraction equivalence of decimals.

  3. Representing Decimals • Recently, we have seen how to represent a decimal number to the hundredths using a rectangle cut up into 100 parts. • For example, how would we represent the number 2.34 if we let the large rectangle below represent 1 whole? Good…we need 2 wholes and 34 hundredths.

  4. 2 3 4 tenths hundredths ones Nice… Decimals to Fractions • The number 2.34 and the representation above show different ways to write the number as a fraction. • First, you could write the decimal out in expanded form. Expanded form shows the value of each place. • How would we write 2.34 in expanded form?

  5. 2 3 4 tenths hundredths ones Good… Decimals to Fractions • Another way to write a decimal is as a mixed fraction. • When writing a decimal as a mixed fraction, we must state how many wholes there are and then what part of another whole by combining everything to the right of the decimal place. • How would we write 2.34 as a mixed fraction?

  6. 2 3 4 tenths hundredths ones Good… Decimals to Fractions • A third way to write a decimal is just as a single fraction. • When writing a decimal as a single fraction, we must combine all place values together. • How would we write 2.34 as a single fraction?

  7. c) a) b) d) e) f) Fractions to Decimals • As we have discussed, all decimal numbers are fractions with a denominator that is a power of 10 (e.g. tenths, hundredths). • Consider the following fractions. How would you write the following as decimals? = 0.3 = 0.06 = 0.52 = 2.6 = 35.24 = 1.07

  8. Awesome… = 0.4 Fractions to Decimals • Suppose the fraction was . This fraction is not in tenths or hundredths. What could we do to write this fraction as a decimal? Excellent…we could get an equivalent fraction for 2/5. • Now that we have 2/5 written with a base-10 denominator, how could we write 2/5 as a decimal?

  9. a) b) c) Fractions to Decimals • Consider the following fractions. How would you write the following as decimals?

  10. Partner Work • You have 20 minutes to work on the following problems with your partner.

  11. For those that finish early What number does each letter represent? E C D A B 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 0

  12. Big Idea from Today’s Lesson • We can represent the same decimal number in many different ways. • In expanded form, mixed fraction form, or as a single fraction. • One way to go from a fraction to a decimal is to get the fraction to have a denominator that is a power of 10.
