Answer:


(81)/(250)

Explanation:

To convert the decimal 0.324 to a fraction, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:


0.324 = (0.324)/(1)

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 3 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000. So,


(0.324)/(1)=(0.324*1000)/(1*1000) = (324)/(1000)

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(324,1000) = 4. So,


(324/4)/(1000/4) =(81)/(250)

when reduced to the simplest form.
