To convert the decimal 1.52 to a fraction, just follow these steps: Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one: 1.52 = 1.52 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, 1.52 1 = (1.52 × 100) (1 × 100) = 152 100 . 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(152,100) = 4. So, (152÷4) (100÷4) = 38 25 when reduced to the simplest form. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 152 100 is also
(152÷4)(100÷4) = 3825 when reduced to the simplest form. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 152100 is also equal to 11325 when expressed as a mixed number.
