The numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 33.3. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 33.3 as a fraction will be 333/10.
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, 33.3 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 33.3 becomes 33.3/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 33.3/1 × 10/10 = 333/10
Step 3: Here, the fraction is already in its simplest form because the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 333 and 10 is 1. Hence, 33.3 is in the form of a fraction as 333/10.
Thus, 33.3 can be written as the fraction 333/10.
