Question from Darlene, a parent: What is the equivalent decimal for 0.3 and 6.53 |
Darlene,
These are decimals already so I think you want to write an equivalent common fraction.
Let me try 3.67
You can think of 3.67 as 3.67/1 but I really want an integer divided by an integer. If you multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 the new fraction is equivalent to 3.67/1 and you obtain 367/100.
I hope this helps,
Penny
