Module 3: Decimals

Converting Between Fractions and Decimals

There are two types of decimals that you may encounter. Knowing the difference between the two will help with working through the math of converting:

Finite Decimals

Decimals that have a finite end in digits after the decimal point.

Example: 1.23456

Infinite Decimals

Decimals that infinitely continue after the decimal point.

Example: 1.22222… → 1.2

Example: 1.2323… → 1.23
