Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one of those types. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals express the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2 can be expressed as a decimal with a decimal point, such as 0.375. In this case, we are going to learn how to convert the decimal 0.00004 into a fraction.
The answer for 0.00004 as a fraction is 1/25000.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task that can be done by following a few steps.
Step 1: First, express the decimal number as a fraction with the decimal as the numerator and 1 as the denominator. So, 0.00004 becomes 0.00004/1.
Step 2: To eliminate the decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100000 (because there are 5 decimal places). 0.00004/1 × 100000/100000 = 4/100000
Step 3: To simplify, find the GCD of 4 and 100000, which is 4. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD. 4/100000 = 1/25000
Thus, 0.00004 can be written as a fraction 1/25000.
