Question

Convert decimal to fraction and simplify if possible 0.05=

Answer 1

`0.05`

it is the same as

`(0.05)/(1)`

so we can multiply up and down by 100 to get a whole number in the numerator, the fraction is equivalent to the original number

`(0.05*100)/(1*100)=(5)/(100)`

now we can simplify the solution factoring 5 on numerator and denominator

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

finally the fraction is

`(1)/(20)`
