The answer for 16.75 as a fraction is 67/4.
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, 16.75 is the number with the whole part 16 and the decimal part 0.75. We can express it as 16 + 0.75 or simply 16.75/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fractional part, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 16.75/1 × 100/100 = 1675/100
Step 3: Here 25 is the GCD of 1675 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 1675/100 = 67/4 Hence, 16.75 is in the form of the fraction 67/4.
Thus, 16.75 can be written as a fraction 67/4.
