You convert a decimal to a fraction by putting the digits to the right of the decimal point over "1" followed by the same number of zeros. (Most folks learn this in 3rd or 4th grade.)
0.66 = 66/100 . . . . . 2 decimals, so the denominator is 100
Then you reduce the fraction by canceling common factors. It helps to know your times tables and divisibility rules. (Or you can have your calculator do it.)
0.66 = 66/100 = 33/50
1.00 = 100/100 = 1
Emma’s statement makes sense and Charles’ doesn’t, bcuz when you say 0.75 it should be 75 tenths, because it’s less than a whole number, but charles said 7 and 5 tenths, if it’s 7 and 5 tenths, it would be 7.5.
By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.

How to get the measures of the other two sides of the right triangle?</h3>
Here we have the right triangle where:
B = 90°
C = 40°
BC = 10 in.
Notice that is the adjacent cathetus to the angle C, then we can use the two relations:
- sin(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).
- tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).
Where:
- hypotenuse = AC
- opposite cathetus = AB.
Then we will have:
sin(40°) = 10in/AC.
AC = 10in/sin(40°) = 15.6 in
tan(40°) = AB/10in
tan(40°)*10in = AB = 8.4 in.
So we can conclude that for the given right triangle we have:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.
