Lesson One hundred and Thirty-seven: Fraction-Decimal Equivalents

Given a fraction you can figure out the equivalent decimal: 


	FRACTION	DECIMAL
	  3/4		  .75
	  2/5		  .4
	  1/10		  .1
	  1/20		  .05
Remember that a single decimal value can be equivalent to many fractions: 

	.4 = 2/5 = 4/10 = 8/20 = 16/40

	.5 = 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 = 5/10

	.25 = 1/4 = 2/8 = 4/16

	.75 = 3/4 = 6/8 = 12/16

	.1 = 1/10 = 2/20 = 3/30

Now you get to try a few for yourself.
