Card 0 of 64

Give the decimal equivalent of $\frac{1}{6}$ .

Tap to see back →

Divide 1 by 6; the result is

$$\frac{1}{6}$= 1 \div 6 = 0.166666...$ .

That is, the 6 is repeated infinitely. This is equal to $0.1$\overline{6}$$ .

Convert into a fraction in simplest form.

Think of the decimal as the fraction $\frac{0.38}{1}$ .

Now, multiply the numerator and denominator by for every digit after the decimal. In this case, because there are digits after the decimal, we will be multiplying by twice, or by .

$\frac{0.38}{1}$\times 100=\frac{38}{100}$

Now, simplify this fraction.

$\frac{38}{100}$=\frac{19}{50}$

What is the fractional equivalent of

Tap to see back →

To find the fractional equivalent, we convert the number given into a whole number and divide by the corresponding tenth power needed to move the decimal into a whole number.

So for

we need to multiply by to turn the decimal into the whole number

We divide by to get our fraction

$\frac{25}{100}$

this can be reduced to

$\frac{1}{4}$

What is the fractional equivalent of

To find the fractional equivalent, we first convert the decimal into a whole number.

So to convert into a fraction we need to multiply by to change the decimal into the whole number .

We can now put over the number we used to convert the decimal into a whole number.

$\frac{125}{1000}$

This can be reduced to

$\frac{1}{8}$
