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 a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 2.6875 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.6875 becomes 2.6875/1.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000 (because there are 4 decimal places). 2.6875/1 × 10000/10000 = 26875/10000

 

Step 3: Here 625 is the GCD of 26875 and 10000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 625. 26875/10000 = 43/16 Hence, 2.6875 is in the form of a fraction as 43/16.

 

Thus, 2.6875 can be written as the fraction 43/16.
