In this case, 5 multiplied by 2 gives 10.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Now multiply the numerator and denominator with the same number to get your decimal fraction.

This will help them understand weights like 3.2 kg and distances like 7.85 km. The first step towards a better understanding of decimal numbers is practicing decimal fraction problems every day. The idea of taking a pen and paper to solve sums is dull and uninteresting for students. They need entertaining ways to entice them towards practicing the sums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math\/decimals-games\" title=\"\">SplashLearn<\/a> makes the process of practicing decimal numbers fun and interactive for kids. With dozens of decimal fraction games, your child will never fall short of options to practice math. Instead, learning becomes engaging with interesting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">games<\/a> that allure your kids towards solving sums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Let\u2019s do it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Instead of teaching decimal fractions and handing out practice <a
