Question

Convert the decimal into like fractions.

$4.567,3.25,4.5$

Answer 1

Step 1: Converting the decimals into like decimals

We can convert unlike decimals into like decimals by adding zeros to the right of the decimal parts (such that number of digits after the decimal point is same in each decimal number)

$4.567=4.567,3.25=3.250,4.5=4.500$

Step 2: Convert decimals into fractions

When we remove the decimal point, in the denominator we add zeroes to right of $1$ equal to the number of digits after the decimal point.

Like fractions are those fractions that have the same denominators.

$4.567=\frac{4567}{1000},3.250=\frac{3250}{1000},4.500=\frac{4500}{1000}$

Hence, the like fractions are, $\frac{4567}{1000},\frac{3250}{1000},\frac{4500}{1000}$
