Exercise #5

Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:

0.36= 0.36=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since there are two digits after the decimal point, we divide 36 by 100:

36100 \frac{36}{100}

Now let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and denominator.

In this case, the number is 4, so:

36:4100:4=925 \frac{36:4}{100:4}=\frac{9}{25}

Answer

925 \frac{9}{25}

Exercise #6

Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:

0.350 0.350

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since there are three digits after the decimal point, we divide 350 by 1000:

3501000 \frac{350}{1000}

Now let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and denominator.

In this case, the number is 50, so:

350:501000:50=720 \frac{350:50}{1000:50}=\frac{7}{20}

Answer

720 \frac{7}{20}

Exercise #7

Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:

0.630 0.630

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since there are three digits after the decimal point, we divide 630 by 1000:

6301000 \frac{630}{1000}

Now let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and denominator.

In this case, the number is 10, so:

630:101000:10=63100 \frac{630:10}{1000:10}=\frac{63}{100}

Answer

63100 \frac{63}{100}

Exercise #8

Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:

0.5= 0.5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since there is one digit after the decimal point, we divide 5 by 10:

510 \frac{5}{10}

Now let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator.

In this case, the number is 5, so:

5:510:5=12 \frac{5:5}{10:5}=\frac{1}{2}

Answer

12 \frac{1}{2}

Exercise #13

Write the following decimal fraction as an imaginary fraction and simplify:

11.3 11.3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's write the decimal fraction as a mixed fraction.

Since there is one digit after the decimal point, we will divide 3 by 10 and add 11, as follows:

11+310 11+\frac{3}{10}

Since it cannot be simplified further, the answer is:

11310 11\frac{3}{10}

Answer

11310 11\frac{3}{10}
