The answer for 0.324 as a fraction will be 81/250.
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, 0.324 is the number in the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.324 becomes 0.324/1.
