Practice Decimal-Fraction Conversion in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Converting between fraction form and decimal form of a number: divide numerator by denominator for fraction-to-decimal, and use place value to go the other way.

Fractions and decimals are two ways to write the same number. \frac{3}{4} and 0.75 are the same amountβ€”just different notation.

Example 1

Example 3

easy
Convert \frac{3}{5} to a decimal.

Example 4
