Kia ora Kautou
This week for maths we have been learning how to convert decimals to fractions. There are a couple of things that we have to remember to be successful at this mahi.
Firstly you have to know the value of the decimals. we have to know and understand ‘nested place value’. And there are so many tenths, Hundredths, and Thousand in any given number.
secondly. we have to know our Factors or what number goes into both divisors when going into the numerator and denominator to simplify that fraction in a fraction for example 15/50 can be simplified. The number 5 is a factor of both. we divide 15 by 5 and 50 by 5. This gives us a fraction of 3/10.
Opinion: This week’s mahi was a little bit hard but I got used to it the hardest thing was the Thousandths but you will get it if you keep doing it and you will understand it better too.
