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, 2.52 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.52 becomes 2.52/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 2.52/1 × 100/100 = 252/100

Step 3: Here 4 is the GCD of 252 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 4. 252/100 = 63/25 hence, 2.52 is in the form of the fraction 63/25

Thus, 2.52 can be written as a fraction 63/25.
