A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2. Numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 4.35. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 4.35 as a fraction will be 87/20.
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, 4.35 is the number in the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 4.35 becomes 4.35/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are two decimal places). 4.35/1 × 100/100 = 435/100
Step 3: Here 5 is the GCD of 435 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 435/100 = 87/20 Hence, 4.35 in the form of a fraction is 87/20.
Thus, 4.35 can be written as a fraction 87/20.
