Step-by-step solution for: Decimals to Fractions Worksheets
Let's solve each decimal-to-fraction conversion step by step. The goal is to convert each decimal into its simplest fractional form.
---
- Write as a fraction: $ \frac{4}{10} $
- Simplify: Divide numerator and denominator by 2 → $ \frac{2}{5} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{5} $
---
- Write as a fraction: $ \frac{125}{1000} $
- Simplify: Divide numerator and denominator by 125 → $ \frac{1}{8} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{8} $

- This is a repeating decimal approximation of $ \frac{2}{3} $.
(Note: $ \frac{2}{3} = 0.\overline{6} = 0.666... $, so 0.667 is a rounded version.)
But since it's written as 0.667, we can treat it as a terminating decimal:
- $ \frac{667}{1000} $
- Check if it simplifies: 667 and 1000 have no common factors (667 = 23 × 29), so it's already in simplest form.
⚠️ But in many contexts, 0.667 is used as an approximation of $ \frac{2}{3} $.
So depending on context:
- Exact: $ \frac{667}{1000} $
- Approximate: $ \frac{2}{3} $
Since the worksheet likely expects common fractions, and 0.667 ≈ $ \frac{2}{3} $, we'll go with:
✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{3} $ *(approximation)*
> Note: If exact value is required, it would be $ \frac{667}{1000} $, but for standard worksheets, $ \frac{2}{3} $ is acceptable.
---
- $ \frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{4} $
---
- $ \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{2} $
---
- This is approximately $ \frac{1}{3} $, since $ \frac{1}{3} = 0.\overline{3} = 0.333... $
- So 0.333 ≈ $ \frac{1}{3} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{3} $ *(approximation)*
---
- This is close to $ \frac{1}{6} $, because $ \frac{1}{6} = 0.1666... \approx 0.167 $
- So 0.167 ≈ $ \frac{1}{6} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{6} $ *(approximation)*
> Exact value: $ \frac{167}{1000} $, but again, for educational purposes, $ \frac{1}{6} $ is expected.

- $ \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{4} $
---
- Same as #5: $ \frac{1}{2} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{2} $
---
- Same as #4: $ \frac{1}{4} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{4} $

- Terminating decimals: Convert directly to fractions by writing over powers of 10, then simplify.
- e.g., 0.4 = $ \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} $
- Repeating decimals or approximations: Recognize common fractions like:
- $ \frac{1}{3} = 0.\overline{3} \approx 0.333 $
- $ \frac{1}{6} = 0.1\overline{6} \approx 0.167 $
- $ \frac{2}{3} = 0.\overline{6} \approx 0.667 $
- $ \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 $
- $ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 $
These are standard conversions taught in elementary math.
