Convert the following decimals into fractions and reduce them to the l

1.	Convert the following decimals into fractions and reduce them to the lowest form, (i) 2.125 (ii) 0.0005
Answer» (i) 2.125 = \(\frac{2125}{1000}\) = \(\frac{2125÷25}{1000÷25}\) = \(\frac{85}{40}\) = \(\frac{85÷5}{40÷5}\) = \(\frac{17}{8}\) (ii) 0.0005 = \(\frac{5}{1000}\) = \(\frac{5÷5}{1000÷5}\) = \(\frac{1}{2000}\)

Convert the following decimals into fractions and reduce them to the lowest form, (i) 2.125 (ii) 0.0005

Answer»

(i) 2.125 = \(\frac{2125}{1000}\)

= \(\frac{2125÷25}{1000÷25}\)

= \(\frac{85}{40}\)

= \(\frac{85÷5}{40÷5}\)

= \(\frac{17}{8}\)

(ii) 0.0005 = \(\frac{5}{1000}\)

= \(\frac{5÷5}{1000÷5}\)

= \(\frac{1}{2000}\)
