Converting Decimals to Fractions Step 1 The digits to the right of the decimal point become the numerator of the fraction. Step 2 The place value of the digit farthest to the right of the decimal point determines the denominator. Step 3 The whole-number part of the number is left unchanged. Step 4 Simplify the fraction to lowest terms, if possible.
Examples: Write the decimals as proper fractions or mixed numbers and simplify.
Converting Decimals to Fractions with the TI-34 To convert 4.16 to a mixed number; Enter 4.16 Press the [2nd] button Press the [ n/d ] button Press [enter] Use the [simp] button to simplify In order to write 4.16 as an improper fraction follow the above steps and then 6. Press the [2nd] button 7. Press the [U n/d ] button 8. Press [enter]
Convert to an improper fraction: 1.9 • 11/10 • 11/100 • 19/10 • 19/100
Convert to a fraction: -0.45 • -9/20 • 9/200 • 9/20 • -9/200
Comparing Decimals Process: • Line up decimals according to place values • Starting at the left (and moving right), compare the digits in each corresponding place position • The first instance in which the digits differ determines the order of the numbers. The decimal having the greater digit is greater overall. Examples: 10.51 ____ 10.5098 -0.1291 ____ -0.129 0.7701, 0.7878, 0.7, 0.7373…
Rounding Decimal Numbers • Procedure for Rounding Decimals; • Underline the digit being rounded • Look to the digit to the right of the underlined digit • If the digit is 5 or greater, add 1 to the underlined digit • If the digit is less than 5, don’t change the underlined digit • Discard any digits to the right of the underlined digit Examples: Try these: 4.359 ; to the nearest hundredth 16.004; to the nearest tenth -2.8592 ; to the nearest tenth -9.0955; to the nearest hundredth 21.9997 ; to the nearest thousandth
