What are fraction ?

Word “fraction” is derived from the Latin word fractus. It simply means how many parts of a whole we have. A fraction consists of a numerator, a slash and denominator. For example in the fraction 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

Steps to convert 0.0115 to fraction ?

Steps:
  • Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1
  • Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)
  • Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction
  • Example: Convert 0.0115 to a fraction

    Step 1: Write down 0.0115 divided by 1:

    0.0115 1

    Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10000 (because there are 4 digits after the decimal point so that is 10000:
    × 10000
    right over arrow
    0.0115 1 = 115 10000
    right under arrow
    × 10000

    (Do you see how it turns the top number into a whole number?)

    Step 3: Simplify the Fraction:
    ÷5
    right over arrow
    115 10000 = 23 2000
    right under arrow
    ÷5

    Answer = 23 2000

    Note: 115/10000 is called a decimal fraction and 23/2000 is called a common fraction !

    Example of fractions in real life - 1

    Lets say in a school of 2000 students, there are 23 boys and remaining are girls. We can then simply say the the fraction of boys in this school are 23/2000 and ratio of boys to total students is 0.0115

    Example of fractions in real life - 2

    Lets say we have a total of 2000 balls. Among these 2000 balls. 23 are white and rest are black. We can then simply say the the fraction of white balls is 23/2000 , and ratio of white balls to total balls is 0.0115
