Here, we will separate the whole number from the fraction by inserting a &#8220;.&#8221;, which is called a decimal point. And a fraction represents a value in the form of a\/b. There is a close relationship between decimals and fractions. To convert any decimal number to a fraction, we ignore the decimal point and divide the number by the place value of the last digit in the fractional part of the number. Then we simplify the fraction so obtained. The decimals and fractions can be conveniently interchanged to each other.<\/p>\n<p>The decimals and fractions vary in the format in which they are written. A decimal of 3.24 is written in the form of a fraction of 324\/100. In this mini-lesson, we will explore the relationship between decimals and fractions, and understand how to convert a decimal to a fraction.<\/p>\n<div id=\"What-are-Decimals?\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Decimals\"><\/span>What are Decimals?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Decimals are a set of numbers written together with a dot in between them that is called a decimal point. The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the integers or whole numbers and the numbers to the right of the decimal point are called decimal numbers. It is very important to understand place value while dealing with comparing decimals, operations on decimals, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-156321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fractions-and-decimals.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fractions-and-decimals.jpg?v=1648238858 606w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fractions-and-decimals-300x212.jpg?v=1648238858 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A fraction is either a proper fraction or an improper fraction.<br \/>\n\u2022 A proper fraction is a number representing a part of a whole.
