Convert 0.99000 to Its Simplest Fraction Form

Trailing zeros come at the very end after all other digits (like in 0.99000). These can be removed safely. Other zeros that appear between digits or right after the decimal point cannot be removed because they show place value.

Trailing zeros don't change the value! Think of money: $0.99000 and$0.99 both represent 99 cents. The extra zeros just show more precision but don't add value.

Only remove zeros that come after all non-zero digits at the end. In 0.99000, the last three zeros can go. But in 0.90900, you can only remove the final two zeros, giving 0.909.

Yes! $0.99 = \frac{99}{100}$. Both represent the same value, just in different forms. The decimal 0.99 is already in its simplest decimal form after removing trailing zeros.

If you have something like 5.000, you can remove all trailing zeros to get 5 (a whole number). The decimal point isn't needed when there are no non-zero decimal places.
