Answer...


280(23)/(400)

Steps....

1) Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

2) Multiply to remove 4 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by
10^(4) = 10000

3) Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2800575 and 10000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 25

4) Simplify the improper fraction!
