Checking and securing understanding of converting between fractions and decimals

The line in a fraction is referred to as the fraction bar or vinculum and in a fraction this represents division. Dividing the numerator by the denominator may result in an equivalent terminating decimal. If the decimal is non-terminating then the decimal is an approximation of the fraction. Writing the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of one allows you to use your knowledge of equivalent fractions. Through equivalent fractions, you can write a fraction where the numerator is an integer value.
