Answer 1

One Canadian dollar is
`(24)/(25)` of a U.S. dollar

Solution:

Given that, One Canadian dollar is valued 0.96 of a US dollar

To find: One Canadian dollar is valued at what fraction of a US dollar

Which means, we have to convert 0.96 to fraction

From given,

1 canadian dollar = 0.96 US dollar

Convert 0.96 to fraction:

`\rightarrow 0.96 = (0.96)/(1)`

Multiply and divide by 100

`\rightarrow 0.96 = (0.96 * 100)/(1 * 100)`

Simplify the above expression

`\rightarrow 0.96 = (96)/(100)`

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

`\rightarrow 0.96 = (96 / 4)/(100 / 4)\\\\\rightarrow 0.96 = (24)/(25)`

Thus, one Canadian dollar is
`(24)/(25)` of a U.S. dollar
