Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 112.5 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 112.5 becomes 112.5/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 112.5/1 × 10/10 = 1125/10

Step 3: Here 5 is the GCD of 1125 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 1125/10 = 225/2 Hence, 112.5 is in the form of a fraction 225/2.

Thus, 112.5 can be written as a fraction 225/2.
