What is the fraction of 0.014?

Answer 1

I assume you're trying to express 0.014 as a fraction.

One approach would be to ask what number, when divided into one yields 0.014?

So 1/x = 0.014

And solve for x

(First multiply both sides of the equation by x

So x * 1/x = 0.014 *x

Or 1 = 0.014 *x

Then divide both sides by 0.014 to find x

So 1 / 0.014 = 0.014 * x / 0.014

Or 1 / 0.014 = x

Or 71 = x (approximately))

So your answer is that the fractional equivalent of 0.014 is one seventy-first (to a first approximation).

Another approach is to note that 0.014 is just 14 / 1000.

This could be simplified a little by dividing both top & bottom of the fraction by 2.

So 14 / 1000

Becomes 7 / 500
