True or False?
The method for converting $0 . \dot{3} \dot{2}$ into a fraction involves multiplying it by 10 once and then subtracting the original decimal.
False.
The method for converting $0 . \dot{3} \dot{2}$ into a fraction involves multiplying it by 100 (not 10) and then subtracting the original decimal.
$x = 0.4 \dot{5}$ .
What is the next step to convert $0.4 \dot{5}$ into a fraction?
$x = 0.4 \dot{5}$ .
The next step to convert $0.4 \dot{5}$ into a fraction is to multiply both sides of the equation by 10 to get the recurring part by itself.
$10 x = 4 . \dot{5}$
$\begin{array}{rcl} x & = & 0 . \dot{8} \dot{7} \\ 100 x & = & 87 . \dot{8} \dot{7} \end{array}$
What is the next step to convert $0 . \dot{8} \dot{7}$ into a fraction?
$\begin{array}{rcl} x & = & 0 . \dot{8} \dot{7} \\ 100 x & = & 87 . \dot{8} \dot{7} \end{array}$
The next step to convert $0 . \dot{8} \dot{7}$ into a fraction is to subtract the second equation from the first to cancel out the recurring parts.
$99 x = 87$
$x = 0.7 \dot{1}$
Which two multiples of $x$ do you need in order to convert $0.7 \dot{1}$ into a fraction?
$x = 0.7 \dot{1}$
To convert $0.7 \dot{1}$ into a fraction, you need the multiples $10 x = 7 . \dot{1}$ and $100 x = 71 . \dot{1}$ .
True or False?

How do you put fractions, decimals and percentages in order of size?
To put fractions, decimals and percentages in order of size, convert all of them into decimals and then order the decimals.
Which decimal is bigger 0.659 or 0.67?
0.67 is bigger than 0.659. You can write 0.67 as 0.670 to see this more easily.
True or False?
$\frac{4}{29}$ is bigger than $\frac{4}{27}$ because the numerators are the same and it has the bigger denominator.
False.
$\frac{4}{29}$ is not bigger than $\frac{4}{27}$ . In the first fraction, 4 is divided by a bigger number so the decimal will be smaller.
Which fraction is bigger: $\frac{17}{40}$ or $\frac{21}{40}$ ?
$\frac{21}{40}$ is bigger than $\frac{17}{40}$ because the denominators are the same and the numerator is bigger.
