Given:

The decimal number 1.42

To find:

The fraction and percent.

Solution:

Writing 1.42 in the fraction form:

In the given picture 100 small box makes 1 whole number.

Therefore
`1=(100)/(100)`

`$1.42=(100)/(100)+(42)/(100)`

Denominators are same, so you can add the numerators.

`$=(142)/(100)`

Converting improper fraction into mixed fraction.

`$=1(42)/(100)`

Writing 1.42 in the percent form:

1.42 = 100% + 42$

= 142%

1.42 = 142%
