Question

Write 0.125 as a fraction reduced to the lowest terms.

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to express the given decimal as a fraction in its lowest terms:

`0.125`

To do this, first convert it to a fraction:

`0.125\to(125)/(1000)`

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by common numbers until they cannot be divided further:

`\begin{gathered} (125)/(1000)=(25)/(200)=(5)/(40) \\ \Rightarrow(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`

That is the fraction in lowest terms.
