Question

Convert the following decimal into fraction:0.125 and 0.7 ( 7 is recurring )

Answer 1

Explanation:

*0.125 = 125/1000. We can reduce this to lowest terms by dividing the numerator and denominator by 125 to get the equivalent fraction 1/8. 0.800 = 8/10. Once again, we can reduce this to lowest terms by dividing the top and bottom by 2 to get the equivalent fraction 4/5.

*First we will write the decimal without the decimal point as the numerator. Now in the denominator, write 1 followed by one zeros as there are 1 digit in the decimal part of the decimal number. Therefore, we observe that 0.7 (decimal) is converted to 7/10 (fraction).

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 125/1000 =8/10= 4/5

b) 7/10
