Writing decimals as fractions review

To convert a decimal to a fraction, we write the decimal number as a numerator and we write its place value as the denominator.

If there is a number to the left of the decimal point, we keep that number as a whole number.

$0.0\blueD7$0, point, 0, start color #11accd, 7, end color #11accd is $\blueD7$start color #11accd, 7, end color #11accd $\text{\greenD{hundredths}}$start text, start color #1fab54, h, u, n, d, r, e, d, t, h, s, end color #1fab54, end text. So, we write $\blueD7$start color #11accd, 7, end color #11accd over $\greenD{100}$start color #1fab54, 100, end color #1fab54.

$\redC2.\blueD1$start color #f9685d, 2, end color #f9685d, point, start color #11accd, 1, end color #11accd is $\redC2$start color #f9685d, 2, end color #f9685d and $\blueD1$start color #11accd, 1, end color #11accd $\text{\greenD{tenth}}$start text, start color #1fab54, t, e, n, t, h, end color #1fab54, end text. $\redC2$start color #f9685d, 2, end color #f9685d stays a whole number. Then we write $\blueD1$start color #11accd, 1, end color #11accd over $\greenD{10}$start color #1fab54, 10, end color #1fab54.
