Answer:

27/200

Explanation:

your teacher tried to be tricky.

0.135 is simply 135/1000.

that is how you can express any finite decimal number.

anyway, now, we need to transform that fraction into one of the provided fractions. so, which one fits ?

with experience you see it right away. otherwise by simply trying.

in any case, the first option is the right one.

proof :

27/200 = 135/1000 ?

the denominator is our driver : what factor do I need to turn 200 into 1000 ? right, 5 ! 200×5 = 1000

so, we multiply numerator and denominator by 5 (it is important to do that for both, so that the value of the fraction does not change).

27/200 × 5/5 = (27×5) / (200×5) = 135/1000

and that is the proof. 27/200 is indeed 0.135

Answer:

27/200

Explanation:

To write 0.135 as a fraction you have to write 0.135 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number. 0.135 = 0.135/1 = 1.35/10 = 13.5/100 = 135/1000
