What is 60.875 as a Fraction?

60.875 as a fraction

Answer

 

The answer for 60.875 as a fraction will be 487/8.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task that can be accomplished easily by following the steps below.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 60.875 is the number where 60 is the whole part and 0.875 is the fractional part. We can write it as 60 + 0.875.

 

Step 2: Convert 0.875 to a fraction. To remove the decimal from a fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are three decimal places). 0.875/1 × 1000/1000 = 875/1000

 

Step 3: Here, 125 is the GCD of 875 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 125. 875/1000 = 7/8

 

Step 4: Combine the whole number and the fraction. 60 + 7/8 = (60 × 8 + 7)/8 = (480 + 7)/8 = 487/8

 

Thus, 60.875 can be written as a fraction 487/8.
