A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. Numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 8.08. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 8.08 as a fraction will be 202/25.
Converting a decimal to a fraction can be done easily by following some steps. Here’s how you can find the answer.
Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 8.08 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 8.08 becomes 8.08/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 8.08/1 × 100/100 = 808/100
Step 3: Here, 4 is the GCD of 808 and 100. To make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 808/100 = 202/25 Hence, 8.08 is in the form of a fraction of 202/25.
Thus, 8.08 can be written as a fraction 202/25.
