Changing fractions to decimals

Remind your child that decimals are another way to represent a fraction. You can show this by reviewing the tenths, hundredths and thousandths on the base 10 number system. Decimals are simply so many tenths or hundredths or thousandths.

A fraction can be changed to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator. This will usually require the addition of a decimal point and trailing zeros.
