Answer 1

To convert 0.04 to a fraction:

1. Write 0.04 as a fraction over 1: \[ \frac{0.04}{1} \]

2. To eliminate the decimal, multiply the numerator and denominator by 100: \[ \frac{0.04 \times 100}{1 \times 100} = \frac{4}{100} \]

3. Now, simplify \(\frac{4}{100}\) by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4: \[ \frac{4 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{1}{25} \]

Thus, the simplest form of 0.04 as a fraction is \(\frac{1}{25}\).

The correct response is: Start Fraction 1 over 25 End Fraction
