We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.136 as a fraction is 17/125.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a simple task that can be achieved by following a few steps.
Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 0.136 is the number, with 1 as the denominator. Thus, 0.136 becomes 0.136/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000 (because there are three decimal places). 0.136/1 × 1000/1000 = 136/1000
Step 3: Here 8 is the GCD of 136 and 1000. To make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 8. 136/1000 = 17/125 Hence, 0.136 is in the fractional form of 17/125.
Thus, 0.136 can be written as a fraction 17/125.
