What is 9.375 as a fraction?

Answer 1

933/4

The answer someone gave above is NOT correct. First of all, the internationally-accepted mathematical notation is incorrect. The way it is written, 933/4 is not a fraction. It is a number with an exponent, and means 93 to the power of 3/4 or 0.75 = 29.95.To get the correct answer: 1) The number must first be written as the sum of two parts - the whole number part, which is 93, and the decimal or leftover part, which is 0.75. 2) Now, write the decimal part as a fraction: 0.75 = 75/100. What fraction would 0.075 be? It would be 75/1000 because to get 75 from 0.075, move the decimal point over to the right THREE places, and what number is the number 1 with THREE zeros after it? It is 1000. 3) Next, you want to find the largest number that will divide evenly into both 75 and 100. Five will divide evenly into both numbers, but is there a larger number that will? It makes the problem easier to solve if you find the largest common denominator, but I will show how you will get the correct answer even if you do not find largest common denominator. What about the number 25? 25 will go into 75 three times, and 25 will go into 100 four times. Since 3/4 cannot be reduced further (There is no common denominator for the fraction 3/4), then 3/4 must be the right number that 75/100 reduces to.So let's go back to our original number 93.75. We know now that 0.75 = 3/4, therefore we can write a new equation: 93.75 = 93 + 0.75 = 93 + 3/4.The next step is to find a common denominator for 93 and 3/4 because it is usually difficult to add fractions that do not have the same denominator. If we divide 93 by 4, we will not get a whole number, but what if we multiplied 93 by 4?93 x 4 = 372 which means 372/4 = 93. (Remember that division by a number always undoes multiplication by that same number!) Now we are ready to add the fractions because they both have the same denominator: 372/4 + 3/4 = 375/4. Can the fraction 375/4 be reduced to a smaller fraction? Well, two divides into four an even number of times, but it does not divide into 375 evenly because 375 is an odd number. What about four? Four divides into four one time, but it does not divide evenly into 375. That means that the correct answer is 93.75 = 375/4.What if you did not realize that 25 will divide evenly into both 75 and 100, but you noticed that five does. Then your fraction would have been (75÷5)/(100÷5) = 15/20. Can you see that five will also divide evenly into both 15 and 20 also? The formula is (15÷5)/(20÷5) = 3/4, which is exactly the same answer you would have obtained if you used 25 in the first place. What this means, is to not give up. Use the knowledge you have, and even though it probably would have taken a little longer to get the right answer, the important thing is that you would have gotten the right answer!
