Answer:

It is 11 1/10!

Explanation:

I know this because the first thing to do here is to show you that any number can be a fraction if you use a 1 as the denominator. What we really want to do though, is get rid of the decimal places completely so that the numerator in our fraction is a whole number. To do this, we have to count the numbers after the decimal point, which in this case is 10. To get a whole fraction we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 if there is one number after the decimal point, 100 if there are two numbers, 1,000 if it's three numbers and 10,000 if it's...well, you get the idea! In our case 10 is 2 digits long so we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 100. Now we just need to do that multiplication to get our whole fraction! The next step is to simplify this fraction and, to do that, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF). This is sometimes also known as:

  • Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
  • Highest Common Factor (HCF)
  • Greatest Common Denominator (GCD)

In the case of 1110/10 and 100/10, the greatest common divisor is 10. This means that to simplify the fraction we can divide by the numerator and the denominator by 10 and we get 111/10. And there you have it! In just a few short steps we have figured out what 11.10 is as a fraction. 11 1/10!
