For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.); for example, 3.48. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 3.48 as a fraction is 87/25.
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, 3.48 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 3.48 becomes 3.48/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 3.48/1 × 100/100 = 348/100
Step 3: Here, 4 is the GCD of 348 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 348/100 = 87/25 hence, 3.48 is in the form of a fraction 87/25
Thus, 3.48 can be written as a fraction 87/25.
