Examples with solutions for Converting Decimal Fractions to Simple Fractions and Mixed Numbers: Find the missing number

Exercise #1

Which number is equal to 12 \frac{1}{2} ?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by a number that will help us make the denominator 10:

1×52×5=510 \frac{1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{5}{10}

Next we'll rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:

5.0 5.0

Since we're dividing by 10, the decimal point will move one place to the left, giving us:

.50 .50

Finally we'll add the 0 before the decimal point to get:

0.50=0.5 0.50=0.5

Answer

0.5

Exercise #4

Convert into fraction form:

0.012

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's pay attention to where the decimal point is located in the number.

Remember:

One number after the zero represents tens

Two numbers after the zero represent hundreds

Three numbers after the zero represent thousands

And so on

In this case, there are three numbers after the zero, so the number is divided by 1000

Let's write the fraction in the following way:

00121000 \frac{0012}{1000}

We'll then remove the unnecessary zeros as follows:

121000 \frac{12}{1000}

Answer

121000 \frac{12}{1000}
