Question

please explain how u got the answer

Answer 1

0.54 = 5/10 + 4/100 = 50/100 + 4/100 = 54/100 = 27*2/50*2 = 27/50

Answer 2

.54 is another way of writing 54 hundredths, or as a fraction, 54/100.

 

Asking for a simplified fraction is asking you to reduce the numerator and denominator by any common terms.

 

54 and 100 are both divisible by 2, so we get to 27/50. These have no factors in common, so 27/50 is our simplified fraction.
