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 a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2 as a fraction and 2.04 as a decimal. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 2.04 as a fraction will be 51/25.
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, 2.04 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.04 becomes 2.04/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 2.04/1 × 100/100 = 204/100
Step 3: Here, 4 is the GCD of 204 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 204/100 = 51/25 hence, 2.04 is in the form of the fraction 51/25.
Thus, 2.04 can be written as a fraction 51/25.
