12.4 as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kinds. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fractions represent a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2; the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 12.4. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.

Answer

 

The answer for 12.4 as a fraction will be 62/5.

 

Explanation

 

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, 12.4 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 12.4 becomes 12.4/1.

 

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). 12.4/1 × 10/10 = 124/10

 

Step 3: Here 2 is the GCD of 124 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 124/10 = 62/5 hence, 12.4 is in the form fraction of 62/5.

 

Thus, 12.4 can be written as a fraction 62/5.
