    Mechanical Engineering Major here (university student).
    Found this video quite helpful. I never actually learned this is any of my elementery to highschool classes, and I usually just used a calculator to convert the number into a fraction. Being able to do this (first on paper and now in my head) saves a couple of seconds while writing out solutions on homework and on exams for, say, my Fluid Mechanics class. So thank you!!!
    (Extremely useful when I need to maintain a certain level of precision which is lost on rounding but which also costs a tiny bit of time to regenerate in my calculator from previous steps. it's not much but, when using pipeflow equations for example, it stacks up quickly)

    If anyone is stuck on WHY and HOW we got 9. Here is HOW;[10x - x = 10x - 1x= 9x] the missing piece is the #1 no body stated it, everyone here is only paying attention to the fact the it just 9 without actually explaining how we got to 9. Here the WHY remember [x is the same as 1x] #1 is the multiplicative identity in multiplication.

      Thank you so much for explaining that! I’m doing an 8th grade summer course and I’m going to be learning 9th grade math next year when I’m in 7th grade(I’m learning two grades ahead), so it’s been really hard for me to understand all of this.

    Thank you so much. I have a math book that just says .3333 is 1/3 without saying why. Normal conversion of non-repeating was clearly explained, 25%, move decimal to left two places-.25. Then .25 is 25/100 then reduce by the shared divisible number of 25 to get 1/25. But this doesn’t work with repeating decimals and the book didn’t explain why. You’re video is exceptional. I’m now following you. 👏🏾
