Question

13. Convert these decimals to fractions: O 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 O 1/2, 1/8, 1/3 O 1/5,1/3, 1/4 O 1/2, 1/3, 2/3

Answer 1

ANSWER

1/5, 1/3, 1/4

EXPLANATION

We want to convert the given decimals to fraction.

The first step to do this is to write the number after the decimal point as a numerator.

Then, we take the decimal point as 1, count the number of digits after the decimal point and replace them with 0s. That will be the denominator.

That is:

$\begin{gathered} 0.20\text{ = }\frac{20}{100}\text{ = }\frac{1}{5} \\ 0.33\text{ = }\frac{33}{100}\text{ }\cong\frac{1}{3}\text{ (because 0.33 is a recurring decimal)} \\ 0.25\text{ = }\frac{25}{100}\text{ = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

So, the answer is the third option.
