    We convert a decimal to a fraction by taking the number before the decimal point as the whole number and the numbers after the decimal point as the fraction. The number of decimal places determines the denominator of the fraction, with one decimal place being out of 10, two places out of 100, and so on. For the example of 2.25, we write it as a fraction with 25/100 that can be reduced to 1/4, showing the statement 2.25 = 9/4 is true.

    5) We convert a decimal to a fraction by taking the number before the decimal point as the

    whole number and the numbers after the decimal point as the fraction. One decimal place
    gives us a fraction out of 10, 2 decimal places gives a fraction out of 100, 3 decimal places
    gives a fraction out of 1000 etc.

    In this example we have the whole number ‘2’ and then ‘.25’ (i.e. 2 decimal places), so we
    keep the whole number ‘2’ and represent the ‘.25’ as a fraction out of 100:

    25
    2.25  2
    100 .

    We can cancel down the fraction by dividing 25 (numerator) and 100 (denominator) each by
    25 to get:
    25 1
    2.25  2 2
    100 4.

    In this example the fraction is written in the statement as an ‘improper fraction’ (where the
    top number is bigger than the bottom number) rather than as a ‘mixed fraction’ (i.e. as a
    whole number and a fraction). We can convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction in
    the following way, by first identifying a ‘common denominator’ (in this case 4 is our
    common denominator):

    1 1 2 4 1 8 1 8 1 9
    2  2      
    4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4.

    Hence the statement given is TRUE since 2.25  2 1  9


    4 4.
