Example Question #16 : Decimals With Fractions

Convert 0.38 into a fraction in simplest form.

Possible Answers:

$\frac{19}{25}$

$\frac{38}{50}$

$\frac{19}{50}$

$\frac{5}{19}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{19}{50}$

Explanation:

Think of the decimal as the fraction $\frac{0.38}{1}$ .

Now, multiply the numerator and denominator by for every digit after the decimal. In this case, because there are digits after the decimal, we will be multiplying by twice, or by 100 .

$\frac{0.38}{1}\times 100=\frac{38}{100}$

Now, simplify this fraction.

$\frac{38}{100}=\frac{19}{50}$

Example Question #252 : Rational Numbers

What is the fractional equivalent of

0.25

Possible Answers:

$\frac{25}{101}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

To find the fractional equivalent, we convert the number given into a whole number and divide by the corresponding tenth power needed to move the decimal into a whole number.

So for

0.25

we need to multiply by 100 to turn the decimal into the whole number

We divide by 100 to get our fraction

$\frac{25}{100}$

this can be reduced to

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{125}{1000}$

This can be reduced to

$\frac{1}{8}$
