Answer:

1527/500 or 3 27/500

Explanation:

You can take any number, such as 3.054, and write a 1 as the denominator to make it a fraction and keep the same value, like this: 3.054 / 1

To get rid of the decimal point in the numerator, we count the numbers after the decimal in 3.054, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 if it is 1 number, 100 if it is 2 numbers, 1000 if it is 3 numbers, and so on.

Therefore, in this case we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get 3054/1000

Then, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the fraction.

The GCD of 3054 and 1000 is 2. When we divide the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 1527/500

Therefore, 3.054 as a fraction is 1527/500

But to make it not a mixed number the answer is 3 27/500
