(i) Given 0.04

Here we have to convert given decimals into fractions

0.04 can be written as (0.04/1)

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 100 then we get

(0.04/1) = (0.04 × 100 /1 × 100)

= (4/100)

= (1/25)

(ii) Given 2.34

Here we have to convert given decimals into fractions

2.34 can be written as (2.34/1)

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 100 then we get

(2.34/1) = (2.34 × 100 /1 × 100)

= (234/100)

= (117/50)

(iii) Given 0.342

Here we have to convert given decimals into fractions

0.342 can be written as (0.342/1)

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000 then we get

(0.342/1) = (0.342 × 1000 /1 × 1000)

= (342/1000)

= (171/500)

(iv) Given 17.38

Here we have to convert given decimals into fractions

17.38 can be written as (17.38/1)

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 100 then we get

(17.38/1) = (17.38 × 100 /1 × 100)

= (1738/100)

= (869/50)
