II) 20.25

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write as fractions in lowest form. (3) I) 0.05

II) 20.25

Answer 2

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.
