Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. Numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 13.6. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 13.6 as a fraction is 68/5.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task that students can do 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, 13.6 is the number as the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 13.6 becomes 13.6/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 13.6/1 × 10/10 = 136/10
Step 3: Here, 2 is the GCD of 136 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 136/10 = 68/5
Thus, 13.6 can be written as a fraction 68/5.
