Question

What is 8,792 as a fraction?

Answer 1

We have a number $8.792$.

To write it as a fraction first count the number of decimals and call it $n$ (which, in our case, has a value of 3). Multiply the number with $10^n$ to get $8792$. Then divide this number by $10^n$ to get $\frac{8792}{10^n}$ from here you can either simplify (if the assignment says so, then the simplified fraction is $\frac{1099}{125}$) or not.

Hope this helps.
