Step-by-step explanation:
Write as fractions in lowest form. (3) I) 0.05
II) 20.25
Given:
Two numbers as decimals: 0.05, 20.25
To find:
The numbers as fractions in lowest form
Solution:
We can find the numbers by following the steps given below-
We know that to convert the numbers to fractions, we need to remove the decimals and reach the lowest form.
We can find the lowest form of a fraction by writing its numerator and denominator as a product of their factors and then removing the common ones.
On multiplying the remaining factors, we get the lowest form of fractions.
I. 0.05
On writing it as a fraction, we get
=5/100
=1×5/20×5
=1/20
II. 20.25
On writing it as a fraction, we get
=2025/100
=405×5/20×5
=81×5/4×5
=81/4
Therefore, the numbers as fractions in the lowest form are 1/20 and 81/4.
