Question

2.25 as a fraction? Step by step please help ..

Answer 1

The answer would be 2 1/4 ( two and one over four)
Here's why:

Two is a whole number so you don't need to worry about Changing that part. The .25 is a Quarter of a whole ,
For example, 1 dollar is equal to 4 quarters (25 cents) now putting this into a fraction is the same thing.
If .25 is only 1 part of a full quarter (because .25+.25+.25+.25=1)
Then your answer would be 1/4 for the .25 portion.
Final answer is 2 1/4
Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Ok so.....

1.  We know that 2.25 is greater than 1, so it will be a mixed fraction
2. .25 ends in the hundredths place, meaning that 25 should be over 100, 25/100. 
3. We converted .25 to 25/100, but we also have the 2, so it is now 2 25/100.
4. 2 25/100 can be simplified. The GCF (greatest common factor) is 4 so we divide the numerator and denominator by 4.
5. You should get 2 1/4 as your new fraction.

2.25 is 2 1/4 written as a fraction
