How do you change 0.023 to a fraction?

Answer 1

Multiply the number by the required power of 10 to turn it into an integer. Here we need to move the decimal place 3 places by the right to do this. So if we multiply this decimal by 1000 we get 23. We can now write the original number in fraction form as this integer divided by the number we just multiplied by.

So 0.023 = 23/1000. Sometimes we can then simplify the fraction if we want to, but here no simplification is possible.
