Answer 1

To convert 0.96 to a fraction and simplify it, you can follow these steps:

1. Write 0.96 as a fraction:
\[
0.96 = \frac{96}{100}
\]

2. Simplify \(\frac{96}{100}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 96 and 100. The GCD is 4.

3. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
\[
\frac{96 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{24}{25}
\]

Thus, the simplest form of 0.96 as a fraction is \( \frac{24}{25} \).

So the answer is:
