Answer 2

Answer:

a. $\frac{3}{4}= 0.75$

b. $\frac{7}{16}=0.4375$

c. $\frac{72}{5}= 14.40$

d. $\frac{3}{5}= 0.60$

e. $\frac{7}{40}= 0.175$

f. $\frac{51}{20}= 2.55$

Solution:

To convert a decimal into fraction, we have to divide the numerator and the denominator.

Here, on converting the fractions to decimal we get,

1. $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3+25}{4+25}=\frac{75}{100}=0.75$
2. $\frac{7}{16}=0.4375$
3. $\frac{72}{5}=\frac{72+20}{5+20}=\frac{1440}{100}=14.40$
4. $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3+20}{5+20}=\frac{60}{100}=0.60$
5. $\frac{7}{40}=0.175$
6. $\frac{51}{20}=\frac{51+5}{20+5}=\frac{255}{100}=2.55$
