Hi all, would someone help me figure out in lowest terms, how to write .107 as a fraction? Thanks so much! Denise

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Three numbers after the decimal. What place value is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1000's, I did get 107/1000 but I can't break it down further? So far?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Think of it this way: 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5. Will 2 go into 107? Will 5 go into 107?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/75, 31/300 are my only choices? I'm not seeing it:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 21.40

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Something is wrong because 107/1000 won't reduce. Copying error?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's on my test and I am pulling my hair out, must be That is my only, remaining thought. Thank you for trying to help:) Denise

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its Fraction, decimal, percent and it gives you the .107

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Double check the problem. Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you didn't misread it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll check again, sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I snipped it. Can you open?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. It can't be a or d because .107 is 10.7 %

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (mertsj):

8/75=.106666666666 31/300=.103333333333 So choose B

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It is supposed to be .106666666666 where the 6 repeats forever and they rounded it to .107

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree, it's the only one that looks right to me. Thank you again:) Denise
