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, 7.333 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 7.333 becomes 7.333/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are three decimal places). 7.333/1 × 1000/1000 = 7333/1000

Step 3: Here 333 is the repeating part of the decimal. Convert this repeating decimal to a fraction: - Let x = 7.333... - Multiply both sides by 1000 to move the decimal: 1000x = 7333.333... - Subtract the original x from this equation: 1000x - x = 7333.333... - 7.333... - This gives 999x = 7326 - Therefore, x = 7326/999 which simplifies to 22/3.

Thus, 7.333 can be written as a fraction 22/3.
