Question

Convert the following decimals into fractions.

$44.25$

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.

$44.25=$ $\frac{4425}{100}$

= $\frac{177}{4}$

= $44\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, $44.25=$$44\frac{1}{4}$
