Question

Express $0.16$ as a fraction.

Answer 1

Express the given decimal as a fraction:

Given decimal number: $0.16$.

Express the given decimal number in $\frac{p}{q}$ form.

So, $0.16=\frac{0.16}{1}$.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by $100$.

$\therefore 0.16=\frac{0.16\times 100}{1\times 100}=\frac{16}{100}=\frac{4}{25}$.

Hence, the fraction form of the given decimal number is $\frac{\mathbf{4}}{\mathbf{25}}$.
