April 8: Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions

Today we learned how to convert numbers with repeating decimals into fractions.   The notes we took in class are below, and you can watch a brief video tutorial on how to do this here.

We learned the shortcut which is a pretty quick 2 Step method:

STEP 1:  Write the digits that repeat in the numerator of a fraction. 

STEP 2:  Count how many digits are repeating.  Then write that many '9's in the denominator.
