What are imperial fractions?

Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial 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 rational numbers?

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.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal. For example, 1/2 = 2/4 shows a proportional relationship.

What is a decimal place?

A decimal place refers to the position of a digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, in 3.141, the digit 1 is in the thousandths place.

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%.
