Question

Can someone teach me how to write decimals into fractions?

Answer 1

The basic idea is that all decimals can be written as a fraction even the whole numbers like 2 as 2/1

Answer 2

i just want to know how to do it

Answer 3

So if we need to convert 2.5 into fraction first write 2.5 as 2.5/1
Multiply numr abd denomr by 2
2.5*2/1*2=5/2

Answer 5

For another example, convert 0.625 to a fraction.
Multiply 0.625/1 by 1000/1000 to get 625/1000.
Reducing we get 5/8.

Answer 11

ya i didnt understand what @AravindG said but i understood what you said and @alibaby is this correct? im trying to convert 0.25 into a fraction and this is what i did, i put it into a fraction as 0.25/1 then i multiplied 0.25/1 by 1000/1000 to get 250/1000 and now i just need to simplify to get my answer?

Answer 12

Answer 13

But is that the proper way to act to someone who spends some of their time to just help with your question?You acted like I wasn't present here @annie12m. That said I am leaving this question for good.
