Question

How do you convert .05 into a fraction?

Answer 1

We are asked to convert the decimal number 0.05 into a fraction.

As you can see, the decimal point is two digits to the left or the digit 5 is at the hundredth place.

Multiply and divide by 100

`0.05*(100)/(100)=(5)/(100)`

Now we have to simplify the fraction

`(5)/(100)=(1)/(20)`

Therefore, the 0.05 is equal to 1/20

`0.05=(1)/(20)`
