convert the decimal number 19.51 into rational number (p/q) from​

Answer 1

Here I will show you step-by-step how to convert 19.51 as rational number (p/q) form.

You can take any number, such as 19.51, and write a 1 as the denominator to make it a fraction and keep the same value, like this:

19.51 / 1

To get rid of the decimal point in the numerator, we count the numbers after the decimal in 19.51, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 if it is 1 number, 100 if it is 2 numbers, 1000 if it is 3 numbers, and so on.

Therefore, in this case we multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get the following fraction : 1951 / 100
