The answer for 13.4 as a fraction will be 67/5.
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, 13.4 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 13.4 becomes 13.4/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 13.4/1 × 10/10 = 134/10
Step 3: Here, 2 is the GCD of 134 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 134/10 = 67/5 Hence, 13.4 is in the form of a fraction of 67/5.
Thus, 13.4 can be written as a fraction 67/5.
