In this lesson, you will learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction. The basic process is to understand what the place values mean in the decimal representation of a number. The tenths place and the hundredths place, for example, mean that those digits are written as fractions over ten and over one hundred, respectively. If the decimal has a whole number part to it, just reserve that at the end and write the final answer as a mixed number. We will learn how to convert a decimal into a fraction out to the thousandths place, but the same process can be extended to a decimal with any number of digits after the decimal point. This process will also help us convert a fraction to a decimal in future lessons.
