Final answer:
To convert 2.75 and 1.25 into fractions, place the decimals over their respective place values (hundredths), then simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25. The fraction form of 2.75 is 2 3⁄4, and the fraction form of 1.25 is 1 1⁄4.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the fraction form of 2.75, you recognize that 2.75 is the same as 2 and 75 hundredths. This can be written as the fraction 2 75⁄100. To simplify, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor which in this case is 25 to get 2 3⁄4. So, 2.75 equals 2 3⁄4 in fraction form.
Similarly, to convert 1.25 into a fraction, recognize that 1.25 is the same as 1 and 25 hundredths, or 1 25⁄100. When simplified (again by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25), we get 1 1⁄4. Therefore, the fraction form of 1.25 is 1 1⁄4.
To convert decimals to fractions in general, place the decimal over its place value (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.) and simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
