What is 0.56 written as a fraction in simplest form? A. B. C. D.
@Thebossofme191
What is your guess?
@jabez177
You then have to find a smaller number that goes into both of these so for example you could say 4. 14 x 4 = 56 25 x 4 = 100 14/25 - you cannot simplify after that.
2/5 14/25 1/2 5 3/5
I think it's 14/25
0.56 is also called 56 onehundreths, or 56/100, simplify that thing
Well 0.56 is the same as 56/100 You then have to find a smaller number that goes into both of these so for example you could say 4. 14 x 4 = 56 25 x 4 = 100 14/25 - you cannot simplify after that.
if you had 3 decimal places like 0.568, then that is a thousandth, or 568/1000, and so on
.56 is \[\frac{ 56 }{ 100 }\]
So in simplest form, we need to find what can be divided by both of the numbers equally?
since 56/100 have even numbers, keep dividing top and bottom by 2 till you cant anymore
ok i got 14
and 25
so its 14/25?
So right now your answer is 14/25. Can it be simplified further you think?
no
Then that is your answer! :-)
thanks
if you have to show more things, you break each number top and bottom, down into the prime factors, and see what cancels, i believe
