Lesson Expressing Rational

1 Numbers from Fraction
form to Decimal form
 and Vice-Versa

What’s In

This module is a continuation of the concepts on Operations on Integers and on

greatest common factors. Mastering the rules in the previous module will speed
you in completing this module. Let’s check your learning!

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

A. Find the greatest common factor of the two numbers:

1. 7 and 14
2. 12 and 32
3. 9 and 21
4. 10 and 45
5. 4 and 28

Operations on Integers

B. Perform the indicated operations on integers.

6. (-7) + (+2) =
7. (-7) – (-3) =
8. (+8) x (+3) = ___________
9. (+3) x (-1) =
10. (-3) ÷ (+3) =

What’s New
 In our previous lesson, we learned about fraction and decimal, we
also learned how to perform operations on integers, and we learned
how to find the greatest common factor (GCF). Now, we can use
them in expressing Rational numbers from Fraction form to Decimal
form and vice-versa.

Here’s an example of how the fractional part can be converted into decimals.

or 0.6 or Six Tenths or 0.06 or Six Hundredths

10

or 0.006 or Six Thousandths

Decimal numbers can be written both in expanded form and in words.

 The whole number part and the fractional part of a Decimal number is separated
by a decimal point.

What is It

Throughout the discussion, let us express the Rational numbers from Fraction form
to Decimal form and vice-versa. There are some steps that you may follow.

To express fraction to decimal form, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make

it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s.

• Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.

• Step 3. Then write down just the top number, putting the decimal point in

the correct spot (one space from the right hand side for every zero in

the bottom number)

Example 1: Express to Decimal form

Step 1: We can multiply 4 by 25 to become 100

Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 25: ×25

 ×25

Step 3: Write down 75 with the decimal point 2 spaces from the right (because 100

has 2 zeros);

Answer:

Example 2: Express to Decimal form

Step 1: There is no way to multiply 3 to become 10 or 100 or any "1 followed by 0s",

but we can calculate an approximate decimal by choosing to multiply by, say,

333

Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 333:

×333

𝟏 𝟑𝟑𝟑
=
𝟑 𝟗𝟗𝟗

×333

Step 3: Now, 999 is nearly 1,000, so let us write down 333 with the decimal point

3 spaces from the right (because 1,000 has 3 zeros):

Answer: = 0.333 (accurate to only 3 decimal places!!)

Example 3: Express to Decimal form

Step 1: There is no way to multiply 9 to become 10 or 100 or any "1 followed by 0s",

but we can calculate an approximate decimal by choosing to multiply by, say,

11

Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 11: ×11

×11

Step 3: Now, 99 is nearly 100, so let us write down 11 with the decimal point 2

spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros):

 Answer: (accurate to only 2 decimal places!!)

Example 4: Express to Decimal form

Step 1: There is no way to multiply 11 to become 10 or 100 or any "1 followed by

0s", but we can calculate an approximate decimal by choosing to multiply by,

say, 9

Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 9: ×9

×9

Step 3: Now, 99 is nearly 100, so let us write down 09 with the decimal point 2

spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros):

Answer: (accurate to only 2 decimal places!!)

To express a Decimal number to a Fraction, follow these steps:

decimal
• Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this:
• Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the

decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal
point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)

• Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction

Example 1: Express 0.75 to fraction Step

1: Write down 0.75 divided by 1:

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 100 (because there are 2 digits after the decimal
point so that is 10×10=100):

× 100

× 100

(Turns you see how it turns the top number into a whole number?)

Step 3: Simplify the fraction by dividing 5 both top and bottom (this took me two

steps):

(1st step) (2nd step)

÷5 ÷5

÷5 ÷5

Answer:

or

We can simply get the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 75 and 100. Just follow these
steps:

Step 1: List the multiple of 75 and 100 and find their GCF;

75 = 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75

100 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100

Step 2: Simplify the fraction by dividing their GCF;

Answer:
Note: 75/100 is called a decimal fraction and 3/4 is called a common fraction!

When there is a whole number part, put the whole number aside and bring it back
at the end:

Example 2: Express 2.35 to a fraction Put

the 2 aside and just work on 0.35 Step 1:

write down:

Step 2: multiply both top and bottom by 100 (2 digits after the decimal point so that
is 10×10=100):

Step 3: Simplify the fraction by dividing their GCF (supposed our GCF of 35 and

100 is 5):

÷5

÷5

Bring back the 2 (to make a mixed fraction):
