what are these decimals into fractions and in their lowest terms:
0.19 and 0.06
Please help!
Thank you
suuuuuure thiiiing!!!!
To convert decimals into fractions, follow these steps:
1. Identify the place value of the last digit. In this case, both decimals have two decimal places.
2. Write down the decimal as the numerator of the fraction, without the decimal point. For 0.19, the numerator is 19. For 0.06, it is 6.
3. Write down the denominator of the fraction as a power of 10. Since there are two decimal places, the denominator will be 10 raised to the power of 2, which is 100.
4. Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms (also called reducing the fraction). Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. This will give the fraction in its simplest form.
Now, let's convert 0.19 into a fraction:
1. The numerator is 19, since we remove the decimal point.
2. The denominator is 100, since there are two decimal places.
3. Simplify the fraction:
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 19 and 100 is 1.
Divide both 19 and 100 by 1.
The simplified fraction is 19/100.
Therefore, 0.19 as a fraction in its lowest terms is 19/100.
Now, let's convert 0.06 into a fraction:
1. The numerator is 6, since we remove the decimal point.
2. The denominator is 100, since there are two decimal places.
3. Simplify the fraction:
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6 and 100 is 2.
Divide both 6 and 100 by 2.
The simplified fraction is 3/50.
Therefore, 0.06 as a fraction in its lowest terms is 3/50.
19/100
6/100= 3/50
