fraction and decimal number

FRACTION AND DECIMAL NUMBER

When a whole number is divided into a number of equal parts, we get fraction.

When we multiply numerators and denominators of fraction by the same number, we get equivalent fraction.

To compare, add or subtract like fraction, we can take only the numerators and perform the operation.

To compare, add or subtract the unlike fraction, convert them into equivalent fraction.

We can find a fraction between any two fractions on the number line.

Decimal fractions are fraction having ten or power of ten as denominators.

A decimal fraction has two parts namely

1.    Integral part

2.    Decimal part

They are separated by the decimal point.

All non-negative integers can be considered as decimal numbers.

In a decimal number, the zeros of the extreme right of decimal point has no value.

While adding or subtracting decimals, arrange the decimal numbers according to the place values as we do in whole numbers.
