Question 82

Express 6.03 as a mixed 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 6.03. It has two digits(decimal places) after the decimal, so we will multiply and divide 6.03 by 100.

$6.03=6.03\times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{603}{100}$

$\frac{603}{100}$ is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. We convert the improper fraction into a mixed fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator and find the quotient and the remainder.

$\therefore 6.03=\frac{603}{100}=6\frac{3}{100}$
