Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can 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, 13.125 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 13.125 becomes 13.125/1.

 

Step 2: To remove decimals from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 13.125/1 × 1000/1000 = 13125/1000

 

Step 3: Here 125 is the GCD of 13125 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 125. 13125/1000 = 105/8 Hence, 13.125 is in the form of the fraction 105/8.

 

Thus, 13.125 can be written as a fraction 105/8.
