to do these types of problems, you need to know place value.
Can you tell me what place value the 5 is in ?

Thank you

whpalmer4 · Answer

0.1 = 1/10 = "one tenth"
0.01 = 1/100 = "one one-hundredth"

so this is 35/100 because you need to use the 0.01 place to get the rightmost digit

you need to learn place values.. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/math/decimals/placevalue/

because if your number was .352....then your fraction would be 352/1000 because the 2 is in the thousandths place. And of course, if it reduces, then reduce it.
