Fractions & Decimals

Clear, approachable guidance with examples you can apply in everyday situations.

Take your time with each concept. Try a small example, explain the steps, and check whether the result makes sense.

Understand the parts

The denominator names the number of equal parts in a whole; the numerator counts the parts being considered.

Multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number preserves the fraction's value.

Fractions can often be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Return to the basics whenever a step feels unclear, and use estimates to check that your answer is reasonable.
