Converting a Ratio (w/ decimal) into a fraction?

Question

... it's these tiny extras they add on that throw me off.

I need to convert this ratio into a fraction.

83.04 to 84.27

Answer 1

the answer is 8304/8427 or reduced is 2768/2809 this is found by realizing what the fractions mean 4/100 and 27/100 respectively. Once that is found convert into non-decimals (ie 4 and 27) and then apply that same multiplication to the whole numbers 8300 and 8400. Add back in the formally decmial numbers and you get 8304 and 8427. then reduce. I think this is correct and I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Find the decimal place, then fraction it by that place holder.



In other words: .04 = 4 hundredths, or the fraction: 4 / 100



for the other one: .27 = 27 hundredths, or the fraction: 27/100



83 & 4 / 100 -to- 84 & 27 / 100



Hope this helps.

Answer 3

83.04/84.27



Yes, Mike is correct. My graphing calculator converted that answer into 2768/2809.....if you need to get rid of the decimal.
