The document provides instructions and examples for converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals. It explains that to write a decimal as a fraction, you write the fraction based on the place value name of the decimal. Several examples are provided, such as 0.15 written as 15/100. It also explains that when converting a fraction to a decimal, the numerator is written with as many decimal places as the denominator's place value. More examples are given to demonstrate this, such as 1/4 written as 0.25.
