Question

What is 0.32 written as a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

Okay the last number behind the decimal is in the hundredths place put 32 over 100. 32/100. Now find a number they can both be divided equally by. The highest number they can both be divided by is 4. 32÷4=8 and 100÷4=25 now put 8 over 25 and you have your answer. ANSWER: 32/100=8/25

Answer 2

0.32 in fraction form is 32/100. then to make it simplest form, divide by a common factor. 32/2 = 16 and 100/2 = 50, which gives you 16/50, however this can be simplified more. divide by 2 again and you have 8/25, which cannot be simplified any further. another way to have found this answer would be to find the greatest common factor as the first step, which would be 4; 32/4=8 and 100/4=25
