6.85 as a fraction

Answer

 

The answer for 6.85 as a fraction will be 137/20.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task that can be done easily. 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, 6.85 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 6.85 becomes 6.85/1.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 6.85/1 × 100/100 = 685/100

 

Step 3: Here 5 is the GCD of 685 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 685/100 = 137/20 Hence, 6.85 is in the fractional form of 137/20.

 

Thus, 6.85 can be written as a fraction 137/20.
