Answer 1

0.024 as a fraction is 3/125 (i.e., three one hundred twenty-fifths)

Explanation:

• 0.024 is 24 thousandths.
• When making 0.024 a fraction, 24 becomes the numerator and 1000 becomes the denominator (i.e., 24/1000)

The fraction 24/1000 can be further simplified since the greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 1000 is 8.

Now, we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8:

(24 / 8) / (1000 / 8)

3/125

Therefore, 0.024 as a fraction is 3/125 (i.e., three one hundred twenty-fifths).
