What is $0.87 as a fraction

Think about this as having 87 pennies. You need 100 pennies to equal a full dollar. Therefore, you have 87/100 of a dollar. This does not simplify because 87 is not an even number and does not go into 100 evenly.

0.87 is also 87/100. This is the farthest it can be reduced.
