    Some decimals are easy to convert to fractions - you just put the decimal over a suitable multiple of ten - and then simplify from there. To do the more complex decimal to fraction conversions there is a trick, which involves some very easy algebra. Learn how to do this and you will be able to convert any decimal to a fraction.

    Taking fractions, decimals, percentages etc and explaining them in a super simple, understandable way! I am from England and used all the techniques I learned from your channel to help me pass my QTS Numeracy test. I can now become a teacher - so, big up to you and thank you!!!

    ANY single repeating number will be itself over 9 as a fraction and this process tells you why that "trick" works. ie: 0.3...(repeating) = 3/9. Any two digit repeating number will be that number over 99. ie: .4747..(repeating) = 47/99. Three digits would be over 999. ie: .234234...(repeating) = 234/999. Great videos.

    Great tips and so easy to master. For decimals that don't repeat, I cant believe how obviously simple the solution is. After playing with the repeating decimals, I realised a pattern that eliminates the need to do the two equation method. Here it is: However many digits repeat, take the first group and put it over nines of the same number of digits. eg, 0.1111... = 1/9, 0.12121212... = 12/99, 0.123123123123... = 123/999 etc then if possible simplify further eg. 0.3333... = 3/9 = 1/3. However there's a situation I cannot work out. That's when the repeated numbers are not right after the decimal. eg. 0.12222... How do you work that out?

I am guessing we look at how the number is.. for eg. you use 0.777 and multiply by 10 because you realize it is just seven, and then you used 100 to multiply 0.2424.... because you realize that it is not just the number 2 is repeating but 24.
    2. How do I convert a non- terminating decimal to fractions..... I am thinking it is not possible to get the exact fraction but a fraction that is close to the answer

      I'm late to this but u see, 29/32 is not equal to 0.9063. It's 0.90625.
      I get that there's an almost negligible difference but it is still not equal, just approximate.
      Then 0.9063 to a fraction is just 9063/10000, irreducible.
