9.7 as a Fraction

Answer

The answer for 9.7 as a fraction will be 97/10.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task for students. 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, 9.7 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 9.7 becomes 9.7/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 9.7/1 × 10/10 = 97/10

Step 3: Here, the fraction is already in its simplest form as the GCD of 97 and 10 is 1. Hence, further simplification is not required.

Thus, 9.7 can be written as a fraction 97/10.
