Question

Kyle wants to compare 0.02 to 1/4 using fractions. Which fraction can you use for 0.02?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Kyle wants to compare 0.02 to }\frac{1}{4} \text{ using fractions}\\\\\text{we need to convert 0.02 into fractional form.}\\\\\text{to convert a decimal into fractional form we divide by }10^n,\\\text{where n is the number of digits after decimal, and remove decimals}\\\text{from the number.}$

$\text{here in 0.02, we can see that the number of digits ater decimal is 2,}\\\text{so to convert it into fractional form, we get}\\\\0.02=\frac{2}{10^2}\\\\=\frac{2}{100}\\\\=\frac{1}{50}\\\\\text{so in decimal form, we can write 0.02 as }\frac{1}{50}$
