Converting 0.05 to Fraction Form: Decimal Transformation Exercise

Let's pay attention to where the decimal point is located in the number.

Remember:

One number after the zero represents tens

Two numbers after the zero represent hundreds

Three numbers after the zero represent thousands

And so on

In this case, there are two numbers after the zero, so the number is divided by 100

Let's write the fraction in the following way:

$\frac{005}{100}$

Let's remove the unnecessary zeros as follows:

$\frac{5}{100}$

Let's then proceed to multiply both numerator and denominator by 4 and we obtain the following:

$\frac{5\times4}{100\times4}=\frac{20}{400}$
