Answer 2

Answer:

13/25

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the decimal 0.52 to a fraction, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

0.52 = 0.52

1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100. So,

0.52

1

= (0.52 × 100)

(1 × 100)

= 52

100

.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(52,100) = 4. So,

(52÷4)

(100÷4)

= 13

25

when reduced to the simplest form.
