Hey everyone, I just want to ask, how do you turn a decimal into a fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well say you had .1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be 1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reduces to 1/4

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

divide by 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you determine the value of the decimal place such as tens hundrends thousandths

OpenStudy (masterchief):

Dividing by one is like multiplying like one though.

OpenStudy (masterchief):

*by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so .001 would equal 1/1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how would you simplify to lowest terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

say .25

OpenStudy (masterchief):

You mean divide by 100 Unkle right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would equal 25/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25/100 = 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some you can reduce others you wont be able to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13/100 ofcourse would not reduce

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 13 is prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well hope that helps you out

OpenStudy (anonymous):
