Question

When we rewrite a fraction as a decimal, are we changing the value of the fraction? hi so my teacher is asking this question on this mini quiz thing and i have a horrible headache and dont feel like doing that right now. so pls help me out

Answer 1

No, because then it would have different values and it wouldn't be rewriting it.

Explanation:

Ex. 1/2. The decimal for this would be 0.5, right?

We aren't changing the value of the fraction. It is just another way of writing the value.

Hope this helped. :)

Also, I hope your headache goes away. Feel better soon. :D

Answer 2
