The answer for 20.1 as a fraction will be 201/10.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task 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, 20.1 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 20.1 becomes 20.1/1.
Step 2: To remove decimals from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 20.1/1 × 10/10 = 201/10
Step 3: The fraction is already in its simplest form as there is no common divisor between 201 and 10 other than 1.
Thus, 20.1 can be written as a fraction 201/10.
