Answer

The answer for 2.36 as a fraction will be 59/25.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction can be done easily by following the steps below.

Step 1: Firstly, convert the decimal number to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 2.36 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.36 becomes 2.36/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 2.36/1 × 100/100 = 236/100

Step 3: Here 4 is the GCD of 236 and 100. To simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 236/100 = 59/25 Hence, 2.36 can be expressed as the fraction 59/25.

Thus, 2.36 can be written as a fraction 59/25.
