To express 81.75 as a fraction, we need to consider the decimal place value. Since there are two decimal places (after the decimal point), we can convert 81.75 to a fraction by using the denominator 100 (because there are 2 decimal places).
First, we write down 81.75 as a fraction:
81.75 = 81.75/1
Next, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to move the decimal point two places to the right:
81.75/1 * 100/100 = 8175/100
Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 25:
8175/100 = (8175 ÷ 25)/(100 ÷ 25) = 327/4
Therefore, 81.75 can be expressed as the fraction 327/4.
