A fraction represents 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, 0.080. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.080 as a fraction will be 2/25.
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, 0.080 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Thus, 0.080 becomes 0.080/1.
Step 2: To remove decimals from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000 (because there are three decimal places). 0.080/1 × 1000/1000 = 80/1000
Step 3: Here, 40 is the GCD of 80 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 40. 80/1000 = 2/25 Hence, 0.080 is in the form fraction of 2/25.
Thus, 0.080 can be written as a fraction 2/25.
