Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 0.15, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.

What is 0.15 as a Fraction?

0.15 as a fraction

 

Answer

 

The answer for 0.15 as a fraction will be 3/20.

 

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 fraction for easy calculation. Here, 0.15 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.15 becomes 0.15/1.

 

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). 0.15/1 × 100/100 = 15/100

 

Step 3: Here 5 is the GCD of 15 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 15/100 = 3/20 Hence, 0.15 is in the form of a fraction of 3/20

 

Thus, 0.15 can be written as a fraction 3/20.
