0.8 to fraction
0.8 is 8 tenths, so we write it as 8/10 and simplify to 4/5
0.09
0.009 is 9 thousandths, so we write it as 9/1000 and we can’t simplify it.
Convert 0.045 to a fraction
0.045 = 45/1000
Convert 0.0079 to a fraction
0.0079 = 79/10000
Convert 0.6666666 into a fraction
Steps-
1) Imagine that x is 0.6666
2) 10x means 10 x 0.6666 which equals 6.6666
3) We want to turn this number into an integer, so we need to get rid of the 0.6666
4) So now we do 10x (6.6666) subtract x (0.6666) which equals 6 and is also known as 9x.
5) Now that we have an integer, we divide the integer (6) by 9.
That gives us 6/9!
