0.475 as a fraction

Answer 1

To convert a decimal fraction into a 'regular' fraction, put the number over 1, and multiply the top and bottom by ten, repeatedly, until the decimal point disappears. Then simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator (the number above the line) and the denominator (the number below the line) by any common factors.

so 0.475 becomes 0.475/1, which becomes 4.75/10, and then 47.5/100 and finally 475/1000

Now we can divide both top and bottom by 5 and we get 99/200

No further factors are common to both, so that is the simplest form to which we can reduce the fraction.

0.475 = 99/200
