Converting Fractions to Decimals - Using Division WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Provide students with a clear method for converting fractions into decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator with this worksheet.
Section A begins with unit fractions, giving learners practice with straightforward examples. Section B moves on to fractions that produce terminating decimals, building fluency with accurate division. Section C introduces recurring decimals, where students see patterns that repeat indefinitely, while Section D extends this further by working with improper fractions and mixed numbers greater than 1. The progression ensures students experience a wide range of fractions, from simple to more complex cases, while reinforcing the principle that any fraction can be expressed as a decimal.
