Step-by-step solution for: Converting Decimals to Fractions Worksheet
Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re converting mixed decimals (like 3.25) into fractions in simplest form.
We’ll break each decimal into:
- The whole number part
- The decimal part → convert to fraction over 10, 100, or 1000 depending on places
- Then simplify the fraction if needed

2) 3.72
Break it:
3 + 0.72
0.72 = 72/100
Simplify 72/100: divide numerator and denominator by 4 → 18/25
So: 3 18/25
Wait — let me check: 72 ÷ 4 = 18, 100 ÷ 4 = 25 → yes.
Final: 3 18/25
But wait — is that right? Let me double-check with division:
3.72 = 372/100 → simplify: divide by 4 → 93/25 → which is 3 18/25 → correct.
Actually, 372 ÷ 4 = 93, 100 ÷ 4 = 25 → so 93/25 = 3 18/25 → yes.
✔ Final for #2: 3 18/25
---
3) 8.65
8 + 0.65
0.65 = 65/100
Simplify: divide by 5 → 13/20
So: 8 13/20
Check: 65 ÷ 5 = 13, 100 ÷ 5 = 20 → yes.
✔ Final for #3: 8 13/20
---
4) 0.523
No whole number → just 523/1000
Can we simplify? Check GCF of 523 and 1000.
523 is a prime number? Let’s see: divisible by 2? no. 3? 5+2+3=10 → not divisible by 3. 5? doesn’t end in 0 or 5. 7? 7×74=518, 523-518=5 → not divisible. 11? 5-2+3=6 → not divisible by 11. So likely prime.
So 523/1000 is already simplified.
✔ Final for #4: 523/1000
---
5) 4.32
4 + 0.32
0.32 = 32/100
Simplify: divide by 4 → 8/25
So: 4 8/25
Check: 32÷4=8, 100÷4=25 → yes.
✔ Final for #5: 4 8/25
---
6) 2.025
2 + 0.025
0.025 = 25/1000
Simplify: divide by 25 → 1/40
So: 2 1/40
Check: 25÷25=1, 1000÷25=40 → yes.
✔ Final for #6: 2 1/40
---
7) 1.248
1 + 0.248
0.248 = 248/1000
Simplify: find GCF of 248 and 1000.
Divide both by 8:
248 ÷ 8 = 31
1000 ÷ 8 = 125
So: 31/125 → can’t simplify further (31 is prime)
So: 1 31/125
✔ Final for #7: 1 31/125
---
8) 9.072
9 + 0.072
0.072 = 72/1000
Simplify: divide by 8 → 9/125
So: 9 9/125
Check: 72÷8=9, 1000÷8=125 → yes.
✔ Final for #8: 9 9/125
---
9) 2.84
2 + 0.84
0.84 = 84/100
Simplify: divide by 4 → 21/25
So: 2 21/25
Check: 84÷4=21, 100÷4=25 → yes.
✔ Final for #9: 2 21/25
---
10) 5.062
5 + 0.062
0.062 = 62/1000
Simplify: divide by 2 → 31/500
So: 5 31/500
Check: 62÷2=31, 1000÷2=500 → yes.
✔ Final for #10: 5 31/500
---
11) 1.967
1 + 0.967
0.967 = 967/1000
Is this simplifiable? 967 — check if divisible by small primes.
Not even, sum 9+6+7=22 → not divisible by 3. Doesn’t end in 5 or 0 → not divisible by 5. Try 7: 7×138=966 → 967-966=1 → not divisible. 11: 9-6+7=10 → not divisible. Likely prime.
So: 1 967/1000
✔ Final for #11: 1 967/1000
---
12) 8.8
8 + 0.8
0.8 = 8/10 = 4/5
So: 8 4/5
✔ Final for #12: 8 4/5
---
13) 5.258
5 + 0.258
0.258 = 258/1000
Simplify: divide by 2 → 129/500
Check if 129 and 500 have common factors: 129 = 3×43, 500 = 2²×5³ → no common factors.
So: 5 129/500
✔ Final for #13: 5 129/500
---
14) 6.875
6 + 0.875
0.875 = 875/1000
Simplify: divide by 125 → 7/8
Because 875 ÷ 125 = 7, 1000 ÷ 125 = 8
So: 6 7/8
✔ Final for #14: 6 7/8
---
