Starter:

When doubling the decimal, use your place value knowledge of x10 & /10. 

e.g.

0.8 x 10 = 8

double 8 = 16

16 / 10 = 1.6  

If struggling, you can always use a column method!

Step 2:

'When you do the same to the top and the bottom, equivalent fractions, you got em!'

In this example, the denominator has been multiplied by 7. Therefore, to make an equivalent fraction, we must also increase the numerator by multiplying it by 7 - the same has been done to both!
