1.25 converted to fraction in its simplest form gives __.

Answer 1

Converting decimal to fraction form.
We know that, $1.25=\frac{125}{100}$ [1 Mark]
$\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 5\times 5}{4\times 5\times 5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 25}{4\times 25}$ [1 Mark]
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{4}$
Hence 1.25 is written as $\frac{5}{4}$ in fraction form.[1 Mark]
