Lesson Eighty-five: Converting Decimals to Fractions


Converting decimals to fractions is really easy. When you pronounce the value .7 you either say "point seven" or else you say "seven tenths." This second way of saying this value gives you a pretty good clue as to how you would write the value as a fraction. Study these examples:
