What is the fraction for 2.8 simplified?

Answer 1

14/5.

1. Multiply the number by 10 (in this question) to remove the decimal point (i.e. to make the number into a whole number). 2.8 * 10 = 28.

2. Now write this as a fraction by writing it as the new number divided by the amount you just multiplied by (this is so that the value remains equal to our original figure). As a fraction 2.8 is therefore written as 28/10.

3. If possible, simplify the fraction. 28/10 can be simplified to 14/5 (by dividing both top and bottom by 2).
