Question

Write the following decimal in lowest form

$2.002$

Answer 1

Fractions are parts of a whole, where the numerator represents the equal part and the denominator represents the whole thing.

To convert a number into a fraction we remove the decimal by dividing the number by $10$ for every number after the decimal.

$2.002$ has only three number after the decimal so, we will divide it by $1000$.

By simplifying the fraction, we get,

$\Rightarrow \frac{2002}{1000}=\frac{2\times 1001}{2\times 500}=\frac{1001}{500}$

Hence, the lowest form of given fraction is $\frac{1001}{500}$
