Definition A mixed number is a whole number and a proper fraction combined. So, a mixed number consists of two parts, the whole number part and the fractional part. For example, in mixed number 225225 , the whole number part is 2 and the fractional part is 2525. In this lesson, we convert given mixed number with a denominator…

Definition Proper fractions, are fractions where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. For example: 23,49,1113…23,49,1113… are some proper fractions. Some proper fractions have 2, 4 or 5 as their denominators. There are certain shortcut methods for converting proper fractions with 2, 4 or 5 as denominators into decimals. Rules for converting proper fractions with 2, 4…

Definition A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. In other words, a terminating decimal doesn’t keep going. It has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. 25=0.4;24=0.75;2516=1.562525=0.4;24=0.75;2516=1.5625 In the examples shown above, we have few fractions expressed as decimals. Notice that these decimals have a finite number of digits after the decimal point. So,…

Introduction We should recall decimal place value charts here. We know that, to the right of a decimal point, the places values are the tenths, hundredths, thousandths and so on. In this lesson, we are considering fractions with denominators of 100 or 1000. Rules to convert a fraction with a denominator of 100 to a…

Introduction We should recall decimal place value charts. We know that, to the right of a decimal, the places values are the tenths, hundredths, thousandths and so on. The rule says that the decimal point in the numerator shifts to the left as many places as the number of zeros after 1 in the denominator.…

Introduction Here a figure is given in the form of a circle or a rectangular strip or some other shape. It is then divided into certain number of equal parts. Some of these equal parts are shaded with colors. Considering the figure as a one unit, it is required to find the fraction that represents…
