How do you change something to a fraction?

Answer 1

If it's a whole number, just put a /1 after it (for 4, it's 4/1, 5 is 5/1, etc.) For percents, just put a /100 after it, (for 85%, it would be 85/100). If it's a decimal, like 0.5, follow the steps below:

EXAMPLE DECIMAL: 0.00897

1. Count the digits after the decimal (there are 5 in the example, 00897)

2. Take away all the zeros, as well as the decimal point (here it would look like 897)

3. after your result from 2, (897 in our case), put a slash after it and put a one after it with as many zeroes as you had digits from step 1 (We take 897 and put a slash after it, then since there were 5 digits in step 1, we put 5 digits after 1 after the slash, like this: 897/100000).

4. NICE! You just converted your number into a fraction!
