Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kinds. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 0.34, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.34 as a fraction will be 17/50.
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, 0.34 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.34 becomes 0.34/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 0.34/1 × 100/100 = 34/100
Step 3: Here 2 is the GCD of 34 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 34/100 = 17/50 hence, 0.34 is in the form of fraction 17/50
Thus, 0.34 can be written as a fraction 17/50.
