Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.
A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers, such as 3/4, -5/2, or 0.75.
A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.
A fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Check out our fraction page for lots of examples on how to convert fractions into decimals.
Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.
A percentage can be written as a fraction by placing it over 100 and simplifying. For example, 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.
