Question

Write 1.87 as a fraction.

Answer 1

`1(87)/(100)`

Explanation:

A decimal is another way of representing a fraction such that the denominator of the fraction is a power of (10).

In the number (1.87), the number goes two places behind the decimal point, which means that the denominator of the fraction is (100), and the numerator is the given number excluding the decimal point.

`(187)/(100)`

Simplify, write as a mixed number,

`1(87)/(100)`
