Answer

The answer for 11.375 as a fraction will be 91/8.

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: Separate the whole number from the decimal part. Here, 11 is the whole number, and 0.375 is the decimal part.

Step 2: Convert the decimal part to a fraction. The number on the numerator is 0.375, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Thus, 0.375 becomes 0.375/1.

Step 3: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 0.375/1 × 1000/1000 = 375/1000

Step 4: Here, 125 is the GCD of 375 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and the denominator by 125. 375/1000 = 3/8

Step 5: Combine the whole number with the fraction.

Thus, 11.375 can be written as 91/8.
