I originally shared a question stack for fraction and decimal conversions in this post. This year I made an updated version which includes fractions that can be simplified first to make the long division easier and improper fractions. I've tried to stress to always simplify your fractions before working with them, so I like that this updated version gives students a chance to practice that. I also like that in this version, students have to pay attention to which number is the dividend and which is the divisor. Even in eighth grade, I still see students mix up the numerator and denominator when dividing; because this version includes proper and improper fractions, students cannot just go on autopilot and always do the smaller number divided by the bigger number or vice versa.
