Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fractions represent a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 24.25, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 24.25 as a fraction will be 97/4.
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, 24.25 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 24.25 becomes 24.25/1.
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). 24.25/1 × 100/100 = 2425/100
Step 3: Here 25 is the GCD of 2425 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 2425/100 = 97/4 Hence, 24.25 is in the form of a fraction of 97/4.
Thus, 24.25 can be written as a fraction 97/4.
Fraction: A numerical quantity that is not a whole number, representing a part of a whole.
Decimal: A number that uses base ten and includes a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part.
Numerator: The top part of a fraction, indicating how many parts of the whole are being considered.
Denominator: The bottom part of a fraction, showing how many parts make up a whole.
Greatest Common Divisor (GCD): The largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator without leaving a remainder.
