We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.666 as a fraction will be 2/3.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students 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, 0.666 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.666 becomes 0.666/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are only 3 decimal places). 0.666/1 × 1000/1000 = 666/1000
Step 3: Here, 333 is the GCD of 666 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 333. 666/1000 = 2/3 Hence, 0.666 is in the form of the fraction 2/3.
Thus, 0.666 can be written as a fraction 2/3.
