Fraction to decimal conversion


Fraction to decimal conversion can be very confusing. I learned to do this in class this week and it really is not as bad as you may think. This conversion all has to do with where you need to move the decimal to make the problem right. You need to ask yourself: "do I move it to the left or right?" There are many types of fractions you might encounter to convert into decimals. These might include proper fractions, mixed fractions, and improper fractions. http://www.learningwave.com/chapters/decimal13/basics/convert.html You may look at the few examples I provided and look at what I did. Look above. Use this website above to help you.
