Convert each of the following decimals as fractions:
(i) 0.04
(ii) 2.34
(iii) 0.342
(iv) 17.38
Answers
(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)
Answer:
1, 4/100=1/25
2, 2.34=234/100=117/50=2 17/50
3, 0.342=342/1000=171/500
4, 17.38= 1738/100= 869/50= 17 19/50
