Question

The metal in the penny is worth about 0.505 cent. how many cents is this written as a fraction

Answer 1

To solve this you simply divide .505 by 1 (0.505/1) and then multiply by 1000/1000 to get rid of the decimal, giving you 505/1000. If you want to return to decimal form you divide 505 by 1000.

Hope this helps!
