What are Decimal Fractions | Fractions and Decimals Class 5 Maths | MathOGuide
In this video you will learn that what are decimal fraction. Decimal fractions are the fractions in which denominators have powers of 10.
In Class 5 math, the concepts of decimal fractions, fractions, and decimals are fundamental for understanding parts of a whole and how to work with them. Here’s a simple explanation of each:
Fractions A fraction represents a part of a whole. It is written as ({a}/{b}), where: - **a** is the numerator (the number of parts you have). - **b** is the denominator (the total number of equal parts).
**Example**: (frac{3/4}) means 3 out of 4 equal parts.
### Decimal Fractions Decimal fractions are fractions where the denominator is a power of 10 (like 10, 100, 1000).
They are written with a decimal point. Decimal fractions are a way to express fractions that have denominators of 10, 100, 1000, etc.
**Example**: (1/10) can be written as 0.1. (25/100) can be written as 0.25.
Decimals Decimals are a way of representing fractions in the base-10 number system. They use a decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part.
