What is 0.825 written as a fraction simplified

Answer 1

To write 0.825 as a fraction, we can start by noticing that the number has three decimal places. We can place the decimal number over a denominator of 1 followed by three zeros, which is 1000. Therefore,

0.825 = 825/1000

Next, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25.

825 ÷ 25 = 33
1000 ÷ 25 = 40

Thus, the simplified fraction is:

0.825 = 33/40
