In this lesson, we'll learn about fractions and decimal numbers. These concepts are important for representing parts of a whole and for precise measurements.
A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.
Enter the numerator and denominator of the fraction 5/8:
Numerator: Denominator:Decimals are another way to represent parts of a whole. They use a decimal point to show tenths, hundredths, and so on. For example, 0.75 is equivalent to 75/100 or 3/4.
Convert the fraction 1/4 to a decimal:
We can compare fractions and decimals to see which is greater. For example, 1/2 is equal to 0.5, and both are less than 3/4 or 0.75.
Which is greater: 2/3 or 0.6?
We can add fractions with the same denominator, and we can add decimals by lining up the decimal points.
Add 1/4 and 0.5:
