Question

Sara wants to add 0.35 to 1/2 using fractions. Which fraction can she use for 0.35?

Answer 1

Answer:

She can 35/100 or 7/20 for 0.35 to add to 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the decimal number

$0.35$

Converting $0.35$ into fraction

$0.35$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:and\:divide\:by\:10\:for\:every\:number\:after\:the\:decimal\:point.}$

There are 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply and and divide by 100

$=\frac{0.35\cdot \:100}{100}$

$=\frac{35}{100}$

Therefore,  she can use $\frac{35}{100}$ for 0.35 to add to 1/2.

Note:

$\mathrm{Reduce\:the\:fraction\:}\frac{35}{100}:\quad \frac{7}{20}$

Therefore, she can 35/100 or 7/20 for 0.35 to add to 1/2.
