Answer:
Visualizing Decimals
Decimals can be a less intimidating way of writing fractions. The denominators for all decimals are based on powers of ten (100, 100, 1000, 10,000, etc.).
For example, five tenths can be written as 0.5 or 5/10.
Seventy-eight hundredths can be written as 0.78 or 78/100.
One hundred twenty-five thousandths can be written as 0.125 or 125/1000.
When visualizing what a decimal would look like, instead of breaking an object into thirds or fifths, break it into tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.
