Turning fractions into decimals and back to fractions! #diy

This is how to turn fractions into decimals. So, I had a lot of guys in my last video that were like, "Hey, it's easier to work with decimals." Yeah, maybe you're not wrong, but how do we even get to that point? All right, let's start out. Let's put a point by all of them. Let's just start there. So, 1/8, 1 2 5, 1/4, 2 5, 3/8, 3 7 5, 1/2, 5, 5/8, 6 2 5, 3/4, 7 5, and 7/8, 8 7 5. All right, now we've established how to get to the decimal point. Now, what if we have to go back the other way? How do you do that? So, let's take 1/8 for an example, which we know is .125. Just multiply it by 16. Times 16 equals 2. So, 2 16ths equals 1 8. You get it? Let's do it again. We'll do uh 16th = 4. 4 16ths = 1/4, okay? .75 7 5 * 16 is 12. What is that? That's 3/4. Easy day. Follow for more.
