What to Focus On
- Decimal fractions have denominators like 10, 100, 1000, etc.
- The decimal point separates the whole number and fractional parts.
- Fractions with non-power-of-10 denominators can be converted by adjusting the denominator.
- Count digits after the decimal point to find decimal places.
- Always write a zero before the decimal point if there's no whole number part.
- Like decimals have equal decimal places.
- Zeros can be added at the end of a decimal to make it like another.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
More digits after the decimal means a larger number.
When converting fractions to decimals, you can just write the numerator with a decimal point.
Adding extra zeros at the end of a decimal changes its value.
