Sure! Let’s solve the worksheet
“Converting Fractions to Decimals (A)” step by step.
The goal is to convert each fraction into its decimal equivalent. There are several ways to do this:
✔ Method 1: Division — Divide the numerator by the denominator.
✔ Method 2: Simplify first — Reduce the fraction to lowest terms, then convert (often easier if denominator becomes 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, etc.).
✔ Method 3: Use known equivalents — E.g., 1/2 = 0.5, 1/4 = 0.25, 1/5 = 0.2, etc.
Let’s go row by row and solve each one.

## 💡 Tips for Students:
- Always check if you can simplify the fraction first — it makes conversion easier!
- Know common fractions like 1/2=0.5, 1/4=0.25, 3/4=0.75, 1/5=0.2, 1/10=0.1.
- For denominators like 8 or 20, long division works well.
- Double-check your decimal places — e.g., 17/20 = 0.85, not 0.8 or 0.9.
