In grade 7 we have learnt about <<les décimals finis et les décimals prériodiques>>.   Students need to be able to switch between decimals, fractions and percent.   This video reviews how to change from decimals to fractions.   Remember that in middle school we should ALWAYS reduce our fractions.  Even when we are not asked to reduce.  The expectation is that a fractions is always reduced.
