Converting Fractions to Decimals

In the previous post we have discussed about How to Convert Decimals to Fractions and In today's session we are going to discuss about Converting Fractions to Decimals. We know that the fractions are written in the form of numerator  / denominator. In case we have the denominator as the power of 10, we say that the fraction is a decimal fraction. On other hand we say that the fraction is a vulgar fraction. Let us learn about Converting Fractions to Decimals. We will first talk about the fractions which have the denominators as 10, 100, 1000, 10000 . . . . etc. Now we will check that how many zeroes appear in the denominator and then we will remove the denominator and place the decimal point at the same number of places as equal to the number of zeroes. So if we have 123 / 10, we will write it as 12.3 as the denominator has only 1 zero. On the other hand, if we have the fraction as 3546 /100, here the denominator has 2 zeroes, so it will be written as  34.56 , (know more about Fraction, here
 In a vulgar fraction, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator with the number such that the vulgar fraction changes into the decimal fraction. Let us take the fraction 3/5. Now we make the denominator 5 to the decimal number. For this we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2. Thus we get: ( 3 * 2) / ( 5 * 2)
= 6 / 10
 Now it has changed to the decimal fraction so it can be written as decimal number as  0.6 Ans

  We can make use of Inequality Calculator to learn more about the rules of inequality and how to solve the linear inequalities.  We can also down load cbse sample papers from the CBSE website to learn more about the  syllabus , sample of questions and take the guidance for the upcoming examinations.
