Question

Convert 0.96 to a fraction. The answer should be given in simplest form

Answer 1

To convert 0.96 to a fraction, we can write it as a ratio with the decimal number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator. Then, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal point:

0.96 = 0.96/1 = 96/100

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

96/100 = (96÷4)/(100÷4) = 24/25

Therefore, 0.96 as a fraction in simplest form is 24/25.
