To convert 0.04 to a fraction, you can follow these steps:
1. Count the number of decimal places in the decimal number. In this case, there are two decimal places (0.04).
2. Write down the decimal number as the numerator of the fraction. Therefore, the numerator is 0.04.
3. Write down a denominator that corresponds to the number of decimal places. Since there are two decimal places, the denominator should be 100 (10 raised to the power of 2).
4. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 4 and 100 is 4.
Applying these steps, we have the fraction 0.04 as:
0.04 = 4/100
Simplifying 4/100, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:
4/100 รท 4/4 = 1/25
