Question

1. write the following decimals as fractions.

0.55 =
0.2 =

Explanation:

For \(0.55\):

Step1: Identify decimal place

\(0.55\) has two decimal places, so write as \(\frac{55}{100}\).

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 5: \(\frac{55\div5}{100\div5}=\frac{11}{20}\).

For \(0.2\):

Step1: Identify decimal place

\(0.2\) has one decimal place, so write as \(\frac{2}{10}\).

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: \(\frac{2\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{1}{5}\).

Answer:

\(0.55 = \boldsymbol{\frac{11}{20}}\)
\(0.2 = \boldsymbol{\frac{1}{5}}\)
