Answer 1

Answer:

This is $\frac{7}{100}$ of your money.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a decimal number, and we want the answer to be a fraction. To transform a decimal number into a fraction, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 until none of them have decimal parts. So

$0.07\times \frac{10}{10} = \frac{0.7}{10}\times \frac{10}{10} = \frac{7}{100}$

This is $\frac{7}{100}$ of your money.
