Answer

 

The answer for 8.3333 as a fraction is 25/3.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task. You can follow the steps below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 8.3333 is the number with an implicit denominator of 1. So, it becomes 8.3333/1.

 

Step 2: To eliminate the decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10000 (since there are four decimal places). 8.3333/1 × 10000/10000 = 83333/10000

 

Step 3: The GCD of 83333 and 10000 is 1. Since 83333 and 10000 have no common factors other than 1, the fraction can be simplified to 83333/10000 directly. However, 8.3333 can also be expressed as the mixed number 8 + 1/3, which leads to the improper fraction 25/3.

 

Thus, 8.3333 can be written as a fraction 25/3.
