Fractional form of 0.57 is .

• A. $\frac{57}{100}$
• B. $\frac{57}{10}$
• C. $\frac{57}{1000}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{57}{100}$

Method 1

$0.57$ is five-tenths and seven-hundredths, i.e., fifty-seven hundredths.

$0.57=\frac{57}{100}$

Method 2

Let's shift the decimal point to the far-right to get the numerator and include the same number of zeros after 1 to get the denominator.

$0.57=\frac{Numerator}{Denominator}$

$\Rightarrow 0.57=\frac{57.0}{Denominator}$

The decimal point is shifted two times to the right; hence, in the denominator 1 is followed by two zeros.

$\Rightarrow 0.57=\frac{57}{100}$
