Question 81

Express 0.041 as a fraction.

Answer 1

To convert a decimal into fraction we follow the steps as follows:

(i) Count the number of digits after the decimal(say "n").

(ii) Multiply and divide the number by 1 followed by n zeros, where n is the number of digits after the decimal.

The given decimal is 0.041. It has 3 digits(3 decimal places) after the decimal.

So, we multiply and divide 0.041 by 1000.

Finally, converting the obtained fraction in its lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by this HCF.

$\therefore 0.041=0.041\times \frac{1000}{1000}=\frac{041}{1000}=\frac{41}{1000}$
