Answer:

Solutions  

A fraction is a part of a whole. We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts we have.

We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into. Numerator / Denominator.  

Calculations  

To solve the problem lets use the variable (x). A symbol for a number we don't know yet is called a variable. It is usually a letter. Example x,y,z,etc.... .  

let x be 2.4178  

x= 2.4178(bar on 178)

Our next step is to multiply both sides by 10.

10x = 24.178(bar on 178) {1}

Now multiply both the sides by 1000

10000x = 24178.178 {2}

Lets subtract {2}- {1}

9990x = 24154 ..

x= 24154 /9990

Simplify x= 24154 /9990  

x = 12077 / 4995
