Skill: Convert fractions with denominators of 10, 100, or 1,000 into decimals

The denominator tells you the place value:

• $10$ means tenths: one digit after the decimal point.
• $100$ means hundredths: two digits after the decimal point.
• $1{,}000$ means thousandths: three digits after the decimal point.

The numerator tells you how many of those parts you have.

Example: Convert $\frac{7}{100}$ to a decimal

1. The denominator is $100$, so the fraction represents hundredths.
2. Hundredths are written with two digits after the decimal point.
3. The numerator is $7$, so write $7$ in the hundredths place.
4. Use a zero in the tenths place to hold the place:

$$\frac{7}{100}=0.07$$

So, $\frac{7}{100}$ is seven hundredths, or $\boxed{0.07}$.
