as a fraction

To convert the decimal 7.15 to a fraction, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

7.15 = 7.15

1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100. So,

7.15

1

= (7.15 × 100)

(1 × 100)

= 715

100

.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(715,100) = 5. So,

(715÷5)

(100÷5)

= 143

20

when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 715

is also equal to 73
