What is the simplest form as a fraction 0.015?

Answer 1

0.015

We notice that threre are three digits in the decimal.

So we write

0.015 / 1.000

Notice we place it over '1.000' ; three digit zeroes.

Cancel down the decimal point

0.015/1.000 = 0015/1000

The prefix zeroes to '15' are trivial an can be discarded.

Hence 0015/1000 = 15/1000

Since both both numbers end in '5' or '0' they will reduce by '5'

Hence

15/1000 = 3/200

Since '3' is a Prime number this will not reduce any further. Hence the answer is

0.015 = 3/200

Answer 2

0.015 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. And, being a decimal fraction, it is in its simplest form. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 15/100. That can be simplified to 3/20.

Answer 3

0.015 = 3/200
