1.12 as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types, with fractions being one of them. A fraction is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals, on the other hand, represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2; numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), such as 1.12. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.

What is 1.12 as a Fraction?

1.12 as a fraction

 

 

Answer

The answer for 1.12 as a fraction will be 28/25.

 

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is an easy task for students. 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, 1.12 is the number with a numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Thus, 1.12 becomes 1.12/1.

 

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). 1.12/1 × 100/100 = 112/100

 

Step 3: The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 112 and 100 is 4. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 112/100 = 28/25

 

Hence, 1.12 can be expressed as a fraction 28/25.
