Question

Convert the following decimals into fractions.

$4.96$

Answer 1

Steps to convert a decimal into fraction are as follows:

Step 1: Write the given decimal number without the decimal point as the numerator of the fraction.

Step 2: In the denominator, write 1 followed by as many number of zeros as the number of decimal places in the given decimal.

Step 3: Write the fraction thus obtained in lowest form and if required as a mixed fraction.

$4.96$ = $\frac{496}{100}$ = $\frac{496÷4}{100÷4}$ = $\frac{124}{25}$ = $4\frac{24}{25}$.

Hence, $4.96$$=4\frac{24}{25}$.
