Decimal to simplified fraction | Decimals | Pre-Algebra | Khan Academy

Here's an example of how we convert a decimal to a simplified fraction. Over time this will become second nature to you.

Pre-Algebra on Khan Academy: No way, this isn't your run of the mill arithmetic. This is Pre-algebra. You're about to play with the professionals. Think of pre-algebra as a runway. You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

Why should we practice changing fractions to fractions and fractions to fractions? The reason for this is that fractions are often subject to conciliation when adding and subtracting them, so it is easy to calculate them by switching to a decimal number (e.g. 6/8+9/5+9/6 + 7/5+8/7). However, few are difficult to multiply and divide (e.g. 0.8 times 5.8 times 4.5 times 5.7 times 6.7, etc.) So in this case, we're going to change the decimal fraction into a fraction. That's all.

Why do you make it so complicated? Just put a 100 under 75 right away and simplified the fractions. We don't go through all the hassles in Hong Kong doing this.
