What is 7.3125 in a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you start by multiplying that decimal by a power of 10 such that there are no digits after the decimal point. In this case you can multiply by 10,000 to get 73,125. Put this power of 10 as the denominator and we have a starting point of 73125/10000. The next step is to identify any common factors between the denominator and the numerator. In this case, both top and bottom can divide by 625, and doing this gives 117/16. This fraction is in its simplest form, and thus 7.3125 as a fraction is 117/16.
