In this lesson, we will learn how to convert decimals to fractions and vice versa. You will discover the significance of place value in determining the denominator of a fraction and how to handle whole numbers before the decimal point. We will cover practical examples, including cases when you cannot use a denominator of ten. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a clear understanding of both conversions and be able to apply these skills confidently in mathematical problems.
