A fraction represents both a whole and a part of a whole. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2; numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), such as 2.20. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 2.20 as a fraction is 11/5.
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, 2.20 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.20 becomes 2.20/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 2.20/1 × 100/100 = 220/100
Step 3: Here, 20 is the GCD of 220 and 100. To make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 20. 220/100 = 11/5 Hence, 2.20 is in the form of a fraction of 11/5.
Thus, 2.20 can be written as a fraction 11/5.
