Use the same method described in the article above. Small decimal numbers just result in larger denominators in the equivalent fractions.

Question

How do I convert fractions to thousandths?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Write an equation in which the fraction you're considering is set equal to x/1000. Then solve for x by cross-multiplying. For example: convert ¼ to thousandths. Set up this equation: ¼ = x/1000. Solve for x by cross-multiplying: (1)(1000) = (4)(x). So 1,000 = 4x, and x = 250. Thus, ¼ = 250/1000.

Question

How do I change 9.3 to a fraction?

Anh

Community Answer

Convert to a mixed number by placing the numbers to the right of the decimal over 10. Reduce the fraction. Then, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to get the new numerator. Place this new numerator over the original denominator. 93/10.

How do I turn 0.38 into a fraction?

Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. That's how many zeroes there will be following the 1 in the denominator of the fraction. 0.38 is equal to 38/100. Another example: 0.3801 = 3801/10,000.
