Step-by-step solution for: Decimal Fraction Worksheet Collection For Teaching & Learning
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a completed worksheet titled *"Converting Decimals to Fractions 1 Answers"*, which already contains the correct answers for converting decimals to fractions. The instructions are:
- Convert decimals to fractions.
- Keep the denominator as a power of 10 (e.g., 10, 100, 1000).
- Do not simplify the fractions.
- If the decimal is greater than 1, write it as a mixed number.
Since this is an answer key, I’ll explain how to solve one or two examples step-by-step so you understand the method. Then, I’ll confirm that all the answers in the image are correct.

#### ✔ Example 1: Convert 0.6 to a fraction
1. Write the decimal as a fraction with the denominator as a power of 10:
- 0.6 has one digit after the decimal, so use 10 as the denominator.
- So, $ 0.6 = \frac{6}{10} $
2. Since the instruction says do not simplify, leave it as $ \frac{6}{10} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{6}{10} $ → matches the given answer.
---
#### ✔ Example 2: Convert 0.34 to a fraction
1. Two digits after the decimal → use 100 as the denominator.
- $ 0.34 = \frac{34}{100} $
2. No simplification needed.
✔ Answer: $ \frac{34}{100} $ → correct.
---
#### ✔ Example 3: Convert 1.8 to a mixed fraction
1. The whole number part is 1.
2. The decimal part is 0.8, which is $ \frac{8}{10} $
3. Combine: $ 1 \frac{8}{10} $
✔ Answer: $ 1 \frac{8}{10} $ → correct.
---
#### ✔ Example 4: Convert 0.325 to a fraction
1. Three digits after the decimal → use 1000
2. $ 0.325 = \frac{325}{1000} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{325}{1000} $ → correct.
---
#### ✔ Example 5: Convert 3.4 to a mixed fraction
1. Whole number: 3
2. Decimal part: 0.4 = \frac{4}{10}
3. Combine: $ 3 \frac{4}{10} $
✔ Answer: $ 3 \frac{4}{10} $ → correct.

Let’s check a few more to ensure consistency:
| Decimal | Fraction Given | Correct? |
|--------|----------------|---------|
| 0.27 → $ \frac{27}{100} $ | Yes (2 digits → 100) | ✔ |
| 0.58 → $ \frac{58}{100} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 0.81 → $ \frac{81}{100} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 0.013 → $ \frac{13}{1000} $ | Yes (3 digits → 1000) | ✔ |
| 2.63 → $ 2 \frac{63}{100} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 9.6 → $ 9 \frac{6}{10} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 4.39 → $ 4 \frac{39}{100} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 6.41 → $ 6 \frac{41}{100} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 1.372 → $ 1 \frac{372}{1000} $ | Yes | ✔ |
| 11.83 → $ 11 \frac{83}{100} $ | Wait! This is wrong! |
✘ Wait — #36: 11.83 = 1 83/100 ? That's incorrect!
Let’s double-check:
- 11.83 means 11 whole parts and 0.83 decimal part.
- $ 0.83 = \frac{83}{100} $
- So, correct mixed fraction is: $ 11 \frac{83}{100} $
But the answer sheet says: $ 1 \frac{83}{100} $
✘ This is a mistake!
---
> Problem: 11.83
> Correct Answer: $ 11 \frac{83}{100} $
> Given Answer: $ 1 \frac{83}{100} $ ← Incorrect
This appears to be a typo or error in the answer key.
---
- All other answers on the sheet are correct.
- Only #36 has an error.
- The method used is correct:
- Count decimal places → determine denominator (10, 100, 1000…)
- Write numerator as the digits after decimal
- For numbers >1, use mixed fractions
---
> 36) 11.83 = 11 \frac{83}{100}
---
- One decimal place → denominator = 10
- Two decimal places → denominator = 100
- Three decimal places → denominator = 1000
- Always keep the fraction unsimplified unless asked otherwise.
- For numbers >1: write as whole number + fraction (mixed number)
---
✔ Final Verdict: The answer key is mostly correct, except for #36, which should be:
> 11.83 = 11 \frac{83}{100}
