I think they are equally as good because you can show 3/100 in fractions but you can also show it with decimals 0.03]]> 2018-11-13 09:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626587 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626779 I do not think fractions are more accurate than decimals or decimals are more accurate than fractions because if you have 1/2 or if you have 0.5 they are both basically the same because you can tell they both are half so it does not really matter]]> 2018-11-13 09:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626779 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626784 I think that fractions are not more accurate than decimals because if you had 0.3 that would be 3/10 in fractions and 30% in percentages. They all show parts of a whole.]]> 2018-11-13 09:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626784 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626796 I think that this is not true because if you have 0.25 it is 1/4 but what happens when you want to write 18.84 how can you write that in decimals. And you can't always use fractions when you are like when you are subtracting]]> 2018-11-13 09:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626796 sebastian_pane https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626800 It is the same because you can make a fraction vague and imprecise or you can make it very precise: 195943/1000000=precise 5/10=imprecise. You can also do that with fractions: 0.5=imprecise 0.519222469=precise ]]> 2018-11-13 09:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626800 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626831 I think that this is not true because decimals can be more precise. for example we could have 1/4 and that would be 0.25 but what if you wanted to show 10.37? you would not be able to show that with fractions. But with decimal, you could. This shows that decimals wouldn't be so precise, at least not in all scenarios. you could show 1/2 as 0.50 but there are decimals that you couldn't show with fraction's. This two examples show that decimals are more precise.

Also decimals have more numbers that you can use in more possible ways.]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626845 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626850 I think that Miss Diana is wrong because if you take the fraction 1/10 and if you put into a decimal the you 0.10 which is the same thing as 1/10 and another example could be 1/2 if you put into a decimal 0.5 because it's also a half. . ]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626850 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626853 I think that decimals have the same accuracy  as fractions because: if you have 3/4, the decimal would be 75%. they mean and are exactly the same thing. You can simplify 3/4 to 75/100 and it shows the same thing as well.     ]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303626853 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627025 I think that that decimals and fractions are the same because for fractions you can make what ever you like like 15 pieces, oh what but decimals can go into points and fractions can't do that because there is no 1.2 piece. but maybe it is possible to have a fractions that can go into points. My final thought is that it is just the same. Decimals and fractions. for another reason they would help you learn your percentage  ]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627025 diana_goyder https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627041  I think Diana is right. When you have a fraction you don't have to round it it is already accurate for example 2/3. However with decimals the number will go on for ever so you will always have to round it! For example 2/3 = 6.]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627041 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627104 I believe that fractions are more accurate than  decimals. Firstly,  decimals have more rules on what you can do with the number.  Secondly, the fractions tell you straight away if it is a half or a quarter or a sixth etc. Thirdly, fractions are much easier to understand because they tell you how much there were in the beginning and how many disappeared. And lastly it can be always be used in real life. ]]> 2018-11-13 09:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627104 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627295 I think it is false, if you think of 1\2 and as a decimal it would be 0.5 is really answer than the fractions]]> 2018-11-13 09:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627295 amalia_oliveira https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627335 I think that decimals are as accurate as fractions because they both can be split in as many equal parts as you want. 
Eg. 3/10  =   0.3
Eg. 4/200 = 0.01]]> 2018-11-13 09:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627335 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627865 I think decimals and fractions have the same amount of accuracy. Firstly, if you were to have a cake and you wanted  to split it equally between 15 people you could use  fractions and give everyone 1/15, or you could use decimals and give everyone 0.6!]]> 2018-11-13 09:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/303627865 https://padlet.com/diana_goyder/s4tpygfqvxix/wish/310816918 Fractions,decimals
