Is 9.4 is the same thing as 9/4

Hey there!

The answer would be no, the decimal 9.4 is not the same value as the fraction, 9/4.

To prove this, convert 9/4 to a decimal:
9/4= 2.25 (this is done by dividing the numerator by the denominator).

When you convert 9/4 to the decimal 2.25, notice that 2.25 is not equal to the decimal 9.4

Therefore, 9.4 and 9/4 are not equal values.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

No, if you were to convert 9/4 into a decimal it would be 2.25.
