How do you make 0.64 into a fraction?

Answer 1

0.64 as a fraction

0.64/1.00

NB place the decimal number over '1.00' The number of 'zeroes' after '1' is dependent on the number of digits in the decimal. So the three digit decimal would have three zeroes.

0.64/1.00

Cancel down the decimal point

064/100

Drop the trivial zero the the left of '64'

64/100

Cancel down by '2'

32/50

Cancel down by '2' again

16/25 is the fration equivalent for 0.64

This fraction will not cancel down any further , because there are no common factors between '16' and '25'.

For a three digit decimal

it is 0.064 /1.000

Hence 64/1000

32/500/

16/250

8 / 125 Done!!!!

Answer 2

first you put it as a fraction:

64/100

then you simplify it by dividing it by 2:

then you can divide it by 2 again:

thats your answer
