Question #2b324

Answer 1

`7/20`

Explanation:

First Step:
0.35= `35/100`

The second step is to simplify the fraction:
divide each number by 5
`35/100`=`7/20`

Answer 2

`7/20`

Explanation:

To write it as a fraction, we should at least know that any number over 1 is still that number (ex. 5=`5/1` since 5 divided by 1 is still 5 no matter what).

In this case, we can write `0.35/1`, but we would prefer to not have decimals in fraction. To get rid of it, we multiply the top and bottom by 100 (because the decimal point would move 2 to the right because there are two zeroes in 100).

Therefore, we would get `35/100`. We should be able to simplify this since both the top and the bottom number both have a factor of 5, so we have something like....

`(5*7)/(5*20)`

We can take away both of the fives on the numerator and denominator to get...

`7/20`
