Fractions show parts of a whole. The top number (numerator) tells how many parts you have; the bottom number (denominator) tells how many parts make the whole.
Decimals are another way to show parts of a whole, especially for money and measurements. The decimal point separates the whole number from the fractional part.
You can change fractions to decimals and vice versa. For example, \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \).
Fractions and decimals are important in recipes, sports stats, and shopping!
Always line up decimal points when adding or subtracting decimals.
\[\frac{a}{b} = decimal\]
3/4 of a pizza is more than 1/2 a pizza.
0.25 is the same as 1/4.
Fractions and decimals help us work with parts of things, not just whole numbers.
