Answer:

No, because then it would have different values and it wouldn't be rewriting it.

Explanation:

Ex. 1/2. The decimal for this would be 0.5, right?

We aren't changing the value of the fraction. It is just another way of writing the value.

Hope this helped. :)

Also, I hope your headache goes away. Feel better soon. :D
