Q. Convert the decimal below to a fraction in simplest form.0.15Answer:
Write as Fraction: To convert the decimal 0.15 to a fraction, we first write it as a fraction with a denominator of 100, since there are two digits after the decimal point.0.15=10015
Find GCD: Next, we simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. The GCD of 15 and 100 is 5.
Simplify Fraction: We then divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD to simplify the fraction.(15÷5)/(100÷5)=203
