This is a hypothetical question but quite possible because the Romans did use fractions to a certain extent and they knew about the concept of zero they called it nullae which means nothing. They probably used the symbol N to denote zero so for the sake of tradition we'll use it too. To change a fraction into a decimal we divide the numerator by the denominator. For example 5/8 = 0.625 and the equivalent in Roman numerals is V/VIII = N.DCXXV. 5/8 = 0.625 = 6/10+2/100+5/1000 = 600/1000+200/1000+5/1000 = 625/1000. V/VIII = N.DCXXV = VI/X+II/C+V/M = DC/M+XX/M+V/M = DCXXV/M. Take care where to place the decimal point with Roman decimals. Make sure you know where the tenths, hundredths and thousandths are. When dividing V by VIII the stages are N.VI, N.LXII and finally N.DCXXV. Think carefully about what we're actually doing when we divide 5 by 8, the stages are 0.6, 0.62 and finally 0.625. I hope that your request has been satisfactorily answered. David Gambell, Merseyside, England.

When and why do you need decimals?
You need decimals when you measure and fractions. You need decimals, because to measure and fractions. Also, so whole numbers could exist if there are decimals. There will be no math if there's no decimals.
Can fractions be converted into decimals using the roman numeral system if so could you please show us how?
Yes, the answer can be found in WikiAnswers Roman Numerals (Edit categories).
How do you do least to greatest in fractions and decimals?
All you have to do is convert either the fractions to decimals or the decimals to fractions. If you do not know lets say what one sixth is, just divide 6 by 100 on a calculator and round it. 100/6=16.6666666 so just round to 16.6, but since 100= 1 in decimals to fractions write it 0.16. hope i helped!

Convert 28.25 to a whole number?
If a decimal could be converted to a whole number, we wouldn't need decimals for anything. Or fractions either. The fact is: NO decimal, and no ordinary fraction, can be converted to a whole number. That's why we need them.
How do you write 3.32 in roman numeral?
The Romans didn't have a 1/25th fraction, so 8/25ths (0.32) couldn't be notated in Roman numerals. The Roman fractions were strictly duodecimal (base-12), so while you could have fractions like 552/1728 (0.31944) or 553/1728 (0.32002), they are only an approximation of 8/25ths. 1/1728 is 12-4, which is about as small a fraction as you will find in Roman numerals, denoted by ». So the answer is you cannot write 3.32 exactly in Roman numerals. But a fair approximation would be: |L| DCCXXXVII » That is; 5737/1728 using Middle Age notation. |L| is 50x100 which is 5,000

all you have to do is follow the same algorithm for adding a pair of fractions together. the main step is to find common denominators between the two. to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. another way you could find a common denominator is just by changing them into decimals, and adding them normally like whole numbers with the decimals lined up correctly.
