Converting
Fractions to Decimals
In this section we look at how to write fractions as decimals.
Method 1
If the fraction has 10, 100 or 1000 as the denominator, we can
reverse the process we used to convert decimals to fractions.
You should already know that:
To convert to a decimal, we need to write 37 so that
the last digit appears in the hundredths column, i.e. 0.37 .
From this we can see that:
Method 2
If the fraction isn't like the one above, we may be able to
change it to an equivalent fraction which does
have 10, 100 or 1000 as the denominator. The fractions can
then be converted in the same way as before.
Look at the examples below:
Method 3
Sometimes we are not able to find an equivalent fraction which
has 10, 100 or 1000 as the denominator.
In these cases, we need to divide the numerator by the
denominator .
For example, we saw before that converts to 0.37
If we calculate 37 ÷ 100, we also get the answer 0.37
So, to write as a decimal, we need to calculate 5 ÷ 8:
So = 0.625 as a decimal.

Convert Decimals to Fractions
To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these
steps:
Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this:
decimal
1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every
number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two
numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are
three then use 1000, etc.)
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction
Example: Convert 0.75 to a fraction
Step 1: Write down 0.75 divided by 1:
0.75
1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 100 (because
there are 2 digits after the decimal point so that is
10×10=100):
× 100
0.75
1 = 75
100
× 100
(Do you see how it turns the top number
into a whole number?)
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (this took me two steps):
÷5 ÷ 5
75
100 = 15
20 = 3
4
÷5 ÷ 5
Answer = 3
4
Note: 75/100 is called a decimal fraction and 3/4 is called
a common fraction !
Example: Convert 0.625 to a fraction
Step 1: write down:
0.625
1
Step 2: multiply both top and bottom by 1,000 (3 digits
after the decimal point, so 10×10×10=1,000)
625
1000
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (it took me two steps here):
÷ 25 ÷ 5
625
1000 = 25
40 = 5
8
÷ 25 ÷ 5
Answer = 5
8
When there is a whole number part, put the whole number
aside and bring it back at the end:
Example: Convert 2.35 to a fraction
Put the 2 aside and just work on 0.35
Step 1: write down:
0.35
1
Step 2: multiply both top and bottom by 100 (2 digits after
the decimal point so that is 10×10=100):
35
100
Step 3: Simplify the fraction:
÷ 5
35
100 = 7
20
÷ 5
Bring back the 2 (to make a mixed fraction ):
Answer = 2 7
20
Example: Convert 0.333 to a fraction
Step 1: Write down:
0.333
1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 1,000 (3 digits
after the decimal point so that is 10×10×10=1,000)
333
1000
Step 3: Simplify Fraction:
Can't get any simpler!
Answer = 333
1000
But a Special Note:
If you really meant 0.333... (in other words 3s repeating
forever which is called 3 recurring ) then we need to follow a
special argument. In that case we write down:
0.333...
1
Then multiply both top and bottom by 3:
× 3
0.333...
1 = 0.999...
3
× 3
And 0.999... = 1 (Does it? - see the 9 Recurring discussion
for more if you are interested), so:
Answer = 1

"The Historical moment about General Luna"
The Film "General Luna"
A historical moment is captured,and it becomes ours.It satisfies our rebellion against mortality because it holds back the remorseless rush of time. Likewise,it satisfies our basic sense of logic and harmony and their consequence constitute relief and achievement. As with all states of consciousness there are degrees of satisfaction and therefor degrees of pleasure. It is in the approximation of the absolute where we find our deepest pleasure.
General Luna in a historical context he was widely regarded as the ablest general of the revolution. Three discriptions would suffice;a soldier trying to win a war but was thwarted at very turn by those on whom he should have been able to depend;a nationalist at a time.When the new nation he would save was already disintegrating the ignored champion of an ilustrado class divided against itself.A patriot obsessed to resist and repel the Yankees, Luna had a society that prized pakikisama.And after the cavite clansmen, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, deliberately refused to depend Caloocan the gateway to the North the revolution's fale was truly seaked.Had they obeyed Luna,Mountain Province could have become a fortress of the republic where it could have adopted guerilla warfare for national independence.
May also become a political tool a people may be thus,historical truth most further contend with the modifying effect. Little all too often do our children realize that their hearts may beat to a clever composition move alive than life itself.With the volatile political landscape well mapped out "General Antonio Luna" thunders into action given command of a motley collection of troops that could barely be called an army, Luna whips them into shape with inspirational speeches about several stunning victories on the battlefield.
General Luna is a brave he dont be afraid to fight the American soldiers as the General he want his military to respect and followed his order the great General thinking on how to defeat the american soldiers for he's a strick for being General.Everyone was afraid to him except pako and other member of his soldier who give there faith in General Luna the one who give people in peaceful not to be a slave under the american. The politics is one of the problem because the member of them was not agree of what General Luna thinking they are so stupid and scared who get there want like position and being there prideful they are losing there mind.
-The End.
