Question

how to Express each decimal as a fraction or a mixed number in a simplest form ? I need help with -0.14

Answer 1

To convert decimals into fractions, see how many numbers are after the decimal place. Since the spots go from-

Ten- Hundred- Thousand- Ten thousand- Hundred thousand- Million, and so on. 0.14 would be 100 since it has 2 numbers after the decimal spot and hundred is the 2nd number in the spots.

Now put 0.14 above 1, like a fraction.


`0.14 (x)/(y) 1`

Then multiply both numbers by 100, since, as earlier said, there are 2 numbers from the decimal.

You should have 14 over 100, or
`14 (x)/(y) 100`. Since your decimal is negative, just put the negative sign next to it. If it were positive, no negative sign.
