Question

How do you express `4.234` as a fraction?

Answer 1

`4.234 = 2117/500`

Explanation:

Since this is a terminating decimal, we can express it with a denominator `10^n` where `n` is the number of decimal places.

`4.234 = 4234/1000 = (2117 * color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2))))/(500 * color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2)))) = 2117/500`
