Answer 2

Answer:

For a: The fraction obtained is $\frac{289}{50}$

For b: The fraction obtained is $\frac{7}{2}$

For c: The fraction obtained is $\frac{273}{100}$

For d: The fraction obtained is $\frac{4211}{1000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimal numbers are not considered as integers. They are rounded off to write an integer.

Fraction is present in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ where $q\neq 0$

To remove decimal, we divide the number by $10^n$ where, n = number of decimal places

For the given options:

• Option a:  0.578

Converting this into fractional form, we get:

$\Rightarrow 0.578=\frac{578}{100}=\frac{289}{50}$

The fraction obtained is $\frac{289}{50}$

• Option b:  3.5

Converting this into fractional form, we get:

$\Rightarrow 3.5=\frac{3.5}{10}=\frac{7}{2}$

The fraction obtained is $\frac{7}{2}$

• Option c:  2.73

Converting this into fractional form, we get:

$\Rightarrow 2.73=\frac{273}{100}$

The fraction obtained is $\frac{273}{100}$

• Option d:  0.4211

Converting this into fractional form, we get:

$\Rightarrow 0.4211=\frac{4211}{1000}=\frac{289}{50}$

The fraction obtained is $\frac{4211}{1000}$
