To convert between Fractions and Decimals 

TASK A​ - There are some fractions and decimals that you should memorise 

0.25  0.5  0.75  0.1  0.2  0. 3̇   0. 6̇   0.125 

1 1 3 1 1 1 2 1
4 2 4 10 5 3 3 8

● Test yourself in the ​TASK F​ at the end 

 

Decimals are changed to fractions by observing the place value 

0.8 = 0.08= 0.008 = 0.12 =  

8 Tenths 8 hundredths 8 thousandths 12 hundredths   

 
TASK B​ - ​convert the decimals to fractions by observing the place value (simplify if possible) 

1) 0.3 2) 0.07 3) 0.19 

4) 0.253 5) 0.089 6) 0.7 

7) 0.14 8) 0.123 9) 0.08
