Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Answer :

In the process of converting a decimal number into a fraction number, you need to follow certain steps - 

 

  • Express the decimal number 0.375 as a fraction by dividing it by 1.

 

  0.375 / 1

 

  • Multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to remove the decimal point (because 0.375 has three decimal places)

 

  0.375 / 1 x 1000 / 1000 = 375 / 1000

 

  • To make the fraction into simple form, divide both 375 and 1000 by their Greatest Common Divisor, that is 125.

 

  375 / 1000 ÷ 125 /125 = 3 / 8


Therefore, 0.375 can be written as a fraction 3/8.

0.375/1 × 1000/1000 = 375/1000 

 

Step 3: Here 125 is the GCD of 375 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 125.


375/1000 = 3/8


hence, 0.375 is in the form fraction of 3/8

 

 Thus, 0.375 can be written as a fraction 3/8.
