<p>Understanding decimal conversion is essential for interpreting fractions. A fraction represents a part of a whole and consists of two parts: the numerator (the number on top), which shows how many parts are considered, and the denominator (the number below), which indicates how many parts make up a whole. A decimal, on the other hand, represents numbers that are not whole using a point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while those to the right indicate the fractional part.</p>
