Given the decimal:
0.51
Write as a fraction.
Solution:
In order to write the decimal as a fraction, we must simply treat the decimal as a whole number, and divide it by its place value, in our case, the place value is in the hundredths place, therefore we will divide 51 by 100.
= 51/100
There are no other numbers that can be used to factor out the fraction, therefore we have our final answer.
Final answer:
= 51/100
