+37 How do you convert -51.38 into a fraction in simplest form?!
And how do you do the same thing but with 1.04 repeating??
+1090 The answer is very useful, but the method is the important part:
We start with -51.38
This is the same as -51 38/100 because decimals are in powers of ten, and the hundreths digit is out of 100.
Now all we have to is simplify the fraction part: 38/100 ÷ 2/2 = 19/50.
And there we have our answer: -51 19/50
The next number is 1.0404...
To convert it to a fraction, first we have to find the part repeating, which is 04.
Next we put that over as many nines as there are digits, so: 04/99
Since that can't be simplified any more, we have our answer: 1 4/99
