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, 0.0012 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.0012 becomes 0.0012/1.

Step 2: To remove decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10000 (because there are 4 decimal places). 0.0012/1 × 10000/10000 = 12/10000

Step 3: Here 4 is the GCD of 12 and 10000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 12/10000 = 3/2500 Hence, 0.0012 is in the form of a fraction as 3/2500.

Thus, 0.0012 can be written as a fraction 3/2500.
