1.375 expressed as a fraction

Answer 1

To determine that, you first write down the one, and leave that alone. Focusing then on the number to the right of the decimal point, you note it is 375 one thousandths, or 375/1000.

That fraction can be reduced, for both the numerator and denominator are divisible by five. Any number ending in five or zero can be divided by five. Doing so gets you the reduced fraction of 75/200. This can also be further reduced to 15/40, and that to 3/8.

Now you take that one you had set aside, and add the 3/8 to it.

Your answer is 1 and 3/8ths.
