Pre-Algebra 19 - Converting Terminating Decimal Numbers to Fractions

Professor Von Schmohawk explains how to convert terminating decimal numbers back into fractions. The process involves multiplying the decimal by 10 enough times to shift all digits to the left of the decimal point, creating an integer. This integer is then divided by the same power of 10 to revert to the original number, now expressed as a fraction. An example is provided, converting 0.125 to 1/8. The lecture concludes with a preview of converting repeating decimals to fractions in the next session.
