Answer 2

Given:

Decimal value = 0.550

To find:

Fractional term and its lowest term =?

Solution:

The given decimal value can be converted into its lowest form by the following steps:

Step 1: Write the decimal value in its fraction

=> 0.550 = $\frac{550}{1000}$  (Fractional form)

=> Because three digits after the decimal point are equal to its one by thousandth value.

Hence, it is converted into a fraction.

Step 2: Divide the fraction obtained above

=> $\frac{550}{1000}$ = $\frac{55}{100}$ (By cancelling 0 in numerator and denominator)

=> Dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 we get the following answer

=> 55/5 ÷ 100/5

=>0.550 = $\frac{11}{20}$ (Lowest form)

Hence, the lowest possible value of the given decimal value is $\frac{11}{20}$.
