Answer:
One kilometer is [tex]\frac{31}{50}[/tex] miles
Explanation:
To convert a decimal to a fraction:
1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1
2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point
3- Simplify the fraction you have
Now, for the given problem:
The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:
Step 1:
[tex]0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}[/tex]
Step 2:
We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100
[tex]0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}[/tex]
Step 3:
We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:
[tex]\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}[/tex]
Hope this helps :)
