= 37
10
as a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:
3.7 = 3.7
1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,
3.7
1
= (3.7 × 10)
(1 × 10)
= 37
10
.
(This fraction is already reduced, We can't reduce it any further).
As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 37
10
is also equal to 37
10
when expressed as a mixed number.
