Question

Find an equivalent fraction for the decimal number. In your final answer, include all of your work. 0.61 (but 61 is a repetitive decimal)

Answer 1

The equivalent fraction is
`(61)/(100)`

Explanation:

To find the equivalent fraction to a decimal number, we keep multiplying by 10 in the numerator and the denominator until the numerator is a whole number.

In this question:

We are given: 0.61. So

`0.61 * (10)/(10) = (6.1)/(10) * (10)/(10) = (61)/(100)`

This means that the equivalent fraction is
`(61)/(100)`
