Decimals into Fractions

So on last weeks blog, we talked about turning fractions into decimals. Well this week, we are going to turn decimals into fractions, in two ways actually. 

So first of all, one way which I prefer is making the place values the bottom number, and the number of the place value the top number. For example, let's use 0.34. The top number is going to be 34, because it's the number of the place value. The place value will be 100, because the place values on the decimal side is the opposite of the left side of the decimal. 3 is in the tens place, and 4 is in the hundreds place, which makes the fraction 34/100. Now you just simplify the fraction and there you have it. A decimal that is turned into a fraction.

Another way of turning a decimal into a fraction is just move the decimal over the two values to the right, and then just put the number over 100. For example, let's use 0.34 again. Move the decimal to spaces to the right, which is 34. Now put it over 100, since it's in the hundredths place value, which would be 34/100. Then you just simplify the fraction and that would be your answer. I would choose this method because it is an easier and quick
