Answer:

9/16

Explanation:

First, note that 10000 multiplied by .5625 will get rid of the decimal point. Therefore, make a fraction where the numerator is .5625 times 10000 and denominator is 10000 like this:

.5625 x 10000

10000

Next, multiply the numbers in the numerator together and keep the denominator as is. Now our fraction looks like this:

5625 /10000

The greatest common factor of 5625 and 10000 is 625, which means you can divide the numerator and denominator by 625 and keep the same value:

5625 ÷ 625 /10000 ÷ 625

And when calculating the numerator and denominator in our fraction above, we get .5625 as a fraction in the simplest form possible:

.5625 =

9 /16
