The answer for 1.833 as a fraction is 11/6.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction can be straightforward when following the steps below.

Step 1: Firstly, express the decimal number as a fraction. Here, 1.833 is placed over 1, making it 1.833/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000 (as there are three decimal places). 1.833/1 × 1000/1000 = 1833/1000

Step 3: To simplify the fraction, find the GCD of 1833 and 1000, which is 1. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD. 1833/1000 = 1833/1000 (since GCD is 1, it remains the same)
