Let's pay attention to where the decimal point is located in the number.
Remember:
One number after the zero represents tens
Two numbers after the zero represent hundreds
Three numbers after the zero represent thousands
And so on
In this case, there are two numbers after the zero, so the number is divided by 100
We will write the fraction in the following way:
Write the following fraction as a decimal:
\( \frac{5}{100}= \)
Count the decimal places! One place after decimal = divide by 10, two places = divide by 100, three places = divide by 1000. Since 3.36 has two decimal places, use 100.
Because , not 3.36! The decimal point position matters. Always match the number of decimal places to the denominator.
The question asks for fraction form, so is correct as written. However, you could simplify it to by dividing both by 4.
Never put the decimal 3.36 in the numerator! Remove the decimal point to get whole numbers: 3.36 becomes 336 in the numerator, with 100 in the denominator.
The pattern is: add one zero to the denominator for each decimal place!
