Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What are mixed numbers?

A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction.

Why is there a need to convert decimals to fractions anyway?

The U.S. is one of a few countries worldwide that still uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is a fractional measurement system, where items are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, yards, and so on. The majority of the rest of the world uses the metric system, which is a decimal measurement system, where items are measured in cm, meters, grams, kilos, and so on.

What are composite numbers?

Composite numbers are numbers that are greater than 1 and have more than two factors. For example, 6 is a composite number because it has factors 1, 2,3 and 6.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

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.

What is a fraction as a percentage?

A fraction can be converted to a percentage by dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100. For example, 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.50 × 100 = 50%.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
