Question

mr. le is having too much fun teaching math to the train conductor, so you get to ride to train for a bit longer!
mr. le asks the train conductor to convert 0.972 to a fraction in the simplest form.
the conductor cant do it! it is up to you to convert this fraction to move onto the next ride!

Answer 1

To convert 0.972 to a fraction in simplest form, we first need to write it as a fraction. 0.972 is the same as 972/1000.

To simplify this fraction, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 972 and 1000, which is 4.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get:
972/4 = 243
1000/4 = 250

So, 0.972 as a fraction in simplest form is 243/250.
