How it works… 1 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 =0.25 4 Remember…. A fraction bar is just like a division sign. Lets look at the fraction 1/4:
How it works… 1 1/2 = 1 ÷ 2 =0.5 2 Lets look at the fraction 1/2:
How it works… 3 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 =0.75 4 Lets look at the fraction 3/4:
How it works… 1 2 1/4 Part Whole 2 4 . Whole Part First: Put your whole number on the left hand side of the decimal pint. 2. Second: Convert the fraction to a decimal and put it on the right side of the decimal point. 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 =0.25 2.25 Now, lets look at the mixed number 2 1/4:

Why do I need to know how to convert between fractions and decimals? ?
What have we learned that could help us if we saw this problem? ¾ .8
We know how to change ¾ to a decimal. How would that help? ¾ .8 < 3 ÷ 4 = .80 .75 .8 .75 .75
Lets try another… 6/8 .7 > 6 ÷ 8 = .80 .75 .7 .75 .75
Lets try another… ¼ .25 = 1 ÷ 4 = .25
You try… ½ .48 > 1 ÷ 2 = .5
You try… 4/5 .92 < 4 ÷ 5 = .8
What have we learned that could help us if we saw this problem? Order from least to greatest ¾ ; 0.72 ; 0.8
We know how to change ¾ to a decimal. How would that help? ¾ ; 0.72 ; 0.8 Order from least to greatest .75 .72 .8 3 ÷ 4 = .80 .75 .75 0.72 ; ¾ ; 0.8
Lets try another… ½ ; 0.49 ; 0.51 Order from least to greatest 0 .5 .49 .51 1 ÷ 2 = .5 0.49 ; ½ ; 0.51
You try… 4/5 ; 0.9 ; 0.76 Order from least to greatest .80 .75 .8 .9 .76 4 ÷ 5 = .0 .8 0.76 ; 4/5 ; 0.9
You try… 1/5 ; 0.3 ; 0.25 Order from least to greatest .80 .75 .2 .3 .25 1 ÷ 5 = .0 .2 1/5 ; 0.25 ; 0.3
