The answer for 0.2625 as a fraction will be 21/80.
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, 0.2625 is the number in the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.2625 becomes 0.2625/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000 (because there are 4 decimal places). 0.2625/1 × 10000/10000 = 2625/10000
Step 3: Here 125 is the GCD of 2625 and 10000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 125. 2625/10000 = 21/80 Hence, 0.2625 is in the fractional form of 21/80.
Thus, 0.2625 can be written as a fraction 21/80.
