In the previous session, I had briefly explained how to change a fraction into a decimal. For this time, I will be doing the opposite, and explaining how to changed a decimal to a fraction. There are several ways of doing so, but I can explain two easy ways. The first way, is the most common, and that is merely taking the place value in consideration. The place value is located behind the decimal point. The tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. are behind the decimal point. For example, if you had .4, it would be written as 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified form. If you were to add a zero to the .4, it would simply be .40 over 100, or 4/10. They are all connected in place values.
The other way of converting a decimal to a fraction, is dividing by a number. So, for example, if you were to have 45 divided by .5, you would have to move the decimals on both number. So, instead, it would be 450
