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, 0.905 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.905 becomes 0.905/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 0.905/1 × 1000/1000 = 905/1000

Step 3: Here, 5 is the GCD of 905 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 905/1000 = 181/200

Thus, 0.905 can be written as a fraction 181/200.
