The answer for 70.4 as a fraction is 352/5.
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, 70.4 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 70.4 becomes 70.4/1.
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). 70.4/1 × 10/10 = 704/10
Step 3: Here, 2 is the GCD of 704 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 704/10 = 352/5 Hence, 70.4 is in the form of the fraction 352/5.
Thus, 70.4 can be written as a fraction 352/5.
