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 fraction for easy calculation. Here, 5.25 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 5.25 becomes 5.25/1.

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). 5.25/1 × 100/100 = 525/100

Step 3: Here 25 is the GCD of 525 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 525/100 = 21/4 Hence, 5.25 is in the form of fraction 21/4.

Thus, 5.25 can be written as a fraction 21/4.
