Understanding Decimal to Fraction Conversion
Converting a decimal to a fraction involves expressing the decimal as a ratio of two integers. Here's a simple breakdown:
- Identify the decimal places: Count the number of digits after the decimal point.
- Create a fraction: Use the decimal number without the decimal point as the numerator. For the denominator, use 1 followed by as many zeros as there are decimal places.
- Simplify the fraction: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
For example, to convert 0.75 to a fraction:
- 0.75 has two decimal places.
- Write 0.75 as 75/100.
- Simplify 75/100 by dividing both by 25 (their GCD) to get 3/4.
