QUESTION 9 Convert the decimal to a fraction and reduce, if necessary.

Decimal conversions can be quite the adventure! For example, converting 0.75 to a fraction involves recognizing that it can be expressed as 75/100. But wait—there’s more! Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives you 3/4. Ta-da!

In everyday scenarios, fractions show up everywhere, especially in cooking. If a recipe calls for 0.5 cups of sugar, you can easily convert that to 1/2 cup. A quick cheat: Whenever you see a decimal ending with a 0 or 5, converting it to a fraction can illuminate the math world and make your cooking experiences deliciously simpler!
