Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to determine the fractional form of the decimal, you can use two methods: 1. Multiply the number by 10 until no decimals remain in the number. In this case, you only need to multiply 5.13 by 100 once to "get rid of" the decimal. 5.13 x 100 = 513 2. The whole number (513) becomes your numerator. Next, the power of ten (10, 100, 1,000, etc) that you multiplied the whole number by in step 1 becomes the denominator. 513 --> ⁵¹³/₁₀₀ 3. In this example, there is no common factor between the numerator and the denominator, so you cannot reduce the fraction. This is your final answer. Note: You can also read the decimal out loud and write down the fractional form (e.g "Five Hundred Thirteen Hundredths"). ⁵¹³⁄₁₀₀
