Fractions represent whole and fractional parts. Decimals indicate the fractional part of numbers. For example, with 1/2, numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), such as 6.025. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 6.025 as a fraction will be 1205/200.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is straightforward and can be done by following these steps:
Step 1: First, express the decimal number as a fraction with the number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator. Here, 6.025 becomes 6.025/1.
Step 2: To eliminate the decimal, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (since there are 3 decimal places). 6.025/1 × 1000/1000 = 6025/1000
Step 3: Determine the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of 6025 and 1000, which is 5. Divide the numerator and the denominator by this GCD to simplify the fraction. 6025/1000 ÷ 5/5 = 1205/200
Thus, 6.025 can be written as the fraction 1205/200.
