Question

express each of the following decimals as rational number :3.75 and 0.375​

Answer 1

Answer:

b)3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

b)0.375 has three numbers after the decimal so, we will multiply and divide 0.375 by 1000.

Thus, (0.375 × 1000) / 1000 = 375 / 1000

We see that 375 / 1000 is not in the lowest form as the HCF (375,1000) = 125.

Thus, it is simplified further to 3/8 by dividing the numerator and denominator of 375 / 1000 by 125.

Hence, 0.375 expressed as a fraction in simplest form is equal to 3 / 8.
