Question

What is the fraction of 0.36?

Answer 1

`9/25`

Explanation:

`0.36` is equal to `36/100`, but you can simplify it further by dividing `36` and `100` by `4` to get `9/25`.

Answer 2

`36/100`, which simplifies to `9/25`

Explanation:

In the same way that `0.50=50/100` and `0.75=75/100`,
`0.36=36/100`, because it is `36` hundredths, meaning `36` parts out of `100`.

`36/100` can be simplified, however:

`36/100 = (36-:4)/(100-:4)=9/25`

Because `9/25` cannot be simplified any further, this is the simplest form of the fraction.
