Exercise 9 Page 74

Rewrite a decimal as a fraction.

Practice makes perfect
To graph the given number on a number line, let's first consider its form. 0.25 In this case, we are given a decimal number. Let's rewrite it as a fraction.
0.25
100* 0.25/100
25/100
1/4
The denominator of the fraction expresses how many equal parts each unit is divided into, and the numerator tells us how many of the parts to move over to get to the location on the number line. 1/4 In this case we move over by 1 of 4 equal parts. Since the fraction is positive, it will be located to the right of 0. We will mark this point as Q.
