 Converting Fractions into Decimals
Steps to convert a fraction into a decimal number:
1. Count the number of zeros in the denominator.
2. Write the numerator and put the decimal point by moving towards left as many places as
the number of zeros.

7
Example 3 Convert into decimal.
1000

Ans: 7
Number of zeros in the denominator is three. Thus, = 0.007
1000

325
Example 4 Convert into decimal.
100

Ans: 325
Number of zeros in the denominator is three. Thus, = 3.25

 Converting decimals into fractions
Steps to convert a fraction into a decimal number:
1. Count the number of digits after decimal points.
2. Write the number as numerator omitting the decimal point.
3. Write in the denominator, as many zero or zeros to the right of 1 as there are number of
digit or digits after the decimal point.

Example 8 Convert 7.325 into fraction.

Solution:
Number of digits after the decimal point is three.
Therefore, denominator = 1000
7325
Thus,7.325 
1000

 Use of decimals in money and metric measures
Example 9 Example 11 Express 108 m in km.
Express 565 paise in rupees and paise.
Solution:
Solution:
1000 m = 1 km
100 paise = 1 rupee (`) 108
108 m =  0.108km
565 paise = 565 100 = ` 5.65 100
= ` 5 and 65 paise.
Example 10 Express 5 cm in m. Example 12 Express 1045 ml in l.

Solution: Solution:
100 cm = 1 m 1000 ml = 1 l
5 1045
5cm =  0.05m 1045 ml = 1.045l
100 1000
