Answer:

163/500

Explanation:

we will not only clearly explain how to get the answer to 0.326 as a fraction, but also prove to you that our answer is correct.

First, note that 1000 multiplied by .326 will get rid of the decimal point. Therefore, make a fraction where the numerator is .326 times 1000 and denominator is 1000 like this:

.326 x 1000

1000

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

326

1000

The greatest common factor of 326 and 1000 is 2, which means you can divide the numerator and denominator by 2 and keep the same value:

326 ÷ 2

1000 ÷ 2

And when calculating the numerator and denominator in our fraction above, we get .326 as a fraction in the simplest form possible:

.326 =

163

500
