Question

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

Answer 1

To convert 0.96 to a fraction, we can write it as a fraction over 1, which gives us 0.96/1.
To simplify this fraction, we need to remove the decimal. We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 100, since there are two decimal places in 0.96.
Therefore, we have:
0.96 = 0.96/1 = 96/100
Next, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
Dividing 96 by 4 gives us 24, and dividing 100 by 4 gives us 25.
So, the simplified fraction of 0.96 is 24/25.
