write the decimal as a fraction or a mixed number. write your answer in simplest form. .3282
so far i got this, 3282/100,000 then simplified to 1641/50,000
Four places to the right of the decimal point is 10,000ths, not 100,000ths.
Try also dividing by 3.
I think since it is 3282, the fraction is 3,282/10,000. Then it is simplified to 1,641/5,000.
this is not college math this is more of 7th grade lmao
To convert the decimal .3282 into a fraction, you need to determine the place values of each digit. In this case, the number has four decimal places, so the last digit, 2, is in the ten-thousandths place.
To convert the decimal to a fraction, you need to write the decimal as the numerator and the denominator as a power of 10, based on the number of decimal places.
The numerator would be 3282, and the denominator would be 10,000 (since there are four decimal places). Rewriting this as a fraction, we have 3282/10,000.
To simplify this fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. In this case, the GCD of 3282 and 10,000 is 2.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 1641/5000 as the simplified fraction.
