Explanation:

0.36 = 9

25

as a fraction

To convert the decimal 0.36 to a fraction, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

0.36 = 0.36

1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100. So,

0.36

1

= (0.36 × 100)

(1 × 100)

= 36

100

.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(36,100) = 4. So,

(36÷4)/(100÷4)

= 9
