Step-by-step explanation:

0.68 is read as sixty-eight hundredths.

Write 68 hundredths as a fraction.

68/100

Now we reduce it. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

34/50

Divide again by 2.

17/25

0.68 = 17/25

Answer 2

Answer:

17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the decimal into a fraction. To do so, move the decimal point to the right two place values and place over 100.

0.68 = 68/100

Next, simplify. Divide common factors. Remember, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 4 from both sides:

(68/100)/4 = (17/25)

17/25 is your answer.
