13.6 as a Fraction

Answer

The answer for 13.6 as a fraction is 68/5.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task that students can do 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, 13.6 is the number as the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 13.6 becomes 13.6/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 13.6/1 × 10/10 = 136/10

Step 3: Here, 2 is the GCD of 136 and 10. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 136/10 = 68/5

Thus, 13.6 can be written as a fraction 68/5.
