How do you change a decimal to a fraction?
A decimal can be changed to a fraction with just a few easy steps. Change a decimal to a fraction by first identifying the number that is the furthest to the right of the decimal point. For example .4 has one number (4) to the right of the decimal. If the decimal is .45, then the 5 is the furthest to the right of the decimal. Now, identify the place value of the number that is the furthest to the right of the decimal. In decimals, the first number to the right of the decimal is in the tenths place, the next is in the hundredths place, and so forth. Therefore if the decimal is .4, the number the furthest to the right (4) is in the 10s place. If the decimal is .45, then the number the furthest to the right of the decimal (the 5) is in the 100s place. Now, place the numbers to the right of the decimal over the place value of the number the furthest to the right of the decimal. For example, if the decimal is .4 then your fraction would be 4/10 (since the 4 is in the 10s place). If your dec
