Question

Convert these decimals to fractions:.20, .33, .25

Answer 1

In order to convert the decimal numbers to fractions, let's multiply and divide the number by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places. So we have:

`\begin{gathered} 0.20=0.20\cdot(100)/(100)=(20)/(100)=(2)/(10)=(1)/(5) \\ \\ 0.33=0.33\cdot(100)/(100)=(33)/(100) \\ \\ 0.25=0.25\cdot(100)/(100)=(25)/(100)=(5)/(20)=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

So the corresponding fractions are 1/5, 33/100 and 1/4.
