Question

9.35 as a fraction in simpliest form

Answer 1

We know that
the number $9.35$
is equal to 
$9+0.35$
and
$0.35$  is equal to
$35/100$
divide by 5 both members
$\frac{35}{100} = \frac{7}{20}$

therefore

the number $9.35$  is equal to  $9 \frac{7}{20}$

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

9 7/20.

Explanation:

Reading this decimal, we would say "nine and thirty-five hundredths." This means we can write it as a fraction in the form

9 35/100.

To simplify the fraction, we look for common factors in the numerator and denominator. The numerator ends in 5 and the denominator ends in 0, so both are divisible by 5:

(35÷5)/(100÷5) = 7/20

From this point, the only numbers that are factors of 7 are 1 and 7; while 1 is a factor of everything, 7 will not go into 20, so this does not simplify further.

Thus we have 9 7/20.
