Question

Write the following decimals as fractions. Reduce the fractions to lowest form:

$1.0$

Answer 1

Step I: Write down $1.0$ divide by $1$.

$1.0=\frac{1.0}{1}$

Step II: Multiply both numerator and denominator by $10$. (As, there is $1$ digit after the decimal point)

$\Rightarrow \frac{1.0}{1}\times \frac{10}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{10}$.

Step III: Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by highest common factor.

$\Rightarrow \frac{10÷10}{10÷10}$$=\frac{1}{1}=1$

Therefore, the decimal number $1.0$ can be written as $1$.
