anonymous · Answer

its not one of my answers

cwrw238 · Answer

right its not the fraction in its simplest form

decimals are based on tenths, hundredths etc

0.2  = 2 /10
0.21 = 21/100

the 3rd number after decimal point is 1000th

thats why 0.105 = 105/1000

cwrw238 · Answer

now both 105 and 1000 are divisible by 5
105 / 5 = 21
1000 / 5 = 200

so in simplest form the fraction is 21/200

there are no common factors in 21 and 200
