Divide the numerator of a fraction by the denominator to determine if the fraction has a terminating or repeating decimal. |
If the decimal is a repeating decimal instead of a terminating one, we can still convert it to a fraction. |
Alternatively, you can indicate a repeating decimal by placing a small horizontal line over the repeating digit. |
You may not always know that you're going to get an answer with a repeating decimal when you begin long division. |
Include expressing simple repeating decimal numbers to fractions. |
All fractions have neatly repeating decimal places. |
