Question

What is .375 as a fraction

Answer 1

`(27)/(8)`

Explanation:

To get rid of the decimal point in the numerator, we count the numbers after the decimal in 3.375, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 if it is 1 number, 100 if it is 2 numbers, 1000 if it is 3 numbers, and so on.

Therefore, in this case we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get the following fraction:

`(3375)/(1000)`

Then, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the fraction.

The GCD of 3375 and 1000 is 125. When we divide the numerator and denominator by 125, we get the following:

`(27)/(8)`
