Answer 1

To convert the decimal 0.96 to a fraction, we can express it as:

\[
0.96 = \frac{96}{100}
\]

Next, we simplify the fraction \(\frac{96}{100}\). We find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 96 and 100, which is 4.

Now, we 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 \(\frac{24}{25}\).

From the options given:
- 48/50
- 24/25
- 9/6
- 96/100

The correct answer in simplest form is \(\frac{24}{25}\).
