Improper fraction: top ≥ bottom (7/4). Mixed number: whole + fraction (1¾). Convert by dividing: 7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3, so 7/4 = 1¾.

|---|---|
| 7/4 | 1¾ |
| 5/3 | 1⅔ |
| 11/2 | 5½ |
| 9/4 | 2¼ |
A decimal uses a point. 0.5 = ½. 0.25 = ¼. 0.75 = ¾. Each place after the point is tenths, hundredths, thousandths. 0.36 = 3 tenths and 6 hundredths.
| Decimal | Fraction | Place value |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | 1/10 | 1 tenth |
| 0.5 | 5/10 = 1/2 | 5 tenths |
| 0.25 | 25/100 = 1/4 | 2 tenths, 5 hundredths |
| 0.75 | 3/4 | 7 tenths, 5 hundredths |
Line up the decimal points. Add each column. 3.4 + 1.75 = 5.15. Always keep the decimal point aligned — that is the golden rule.
