Ways to convert 0.125 as a fraction
A decimal value is a number represented by a point. The point represents "part of a
whole number." If the numeric value is .3, then take 1 as the whole number. So, it
represents three parts of a whole number. For eg. If you buy a pizza from the nearest
store, suppose that you are sharing a third of it with someone. Suppose a pizza is
divided into 10 parts. Then you are sharing three parts with someone, say Mr. X. The
number 3 also means 3/10, and three parts are shared. A decimal number is a number
containing dots. The dot is placed before the numbers or in between the numbers.
What does the numeric value 0.125 as a fraction represent?
If the numeric value is 1.25, the whole number is 0. A whole number is a value before
the dot. So, the numeric value is also expressed as 0.125.
How do I convert a decimal into a fraction?
If the numeric value is 25, you should divide it by 100 to get the fraction 25/100. The
number 5 is expressed as a "unit," 2 is in ten's position, and the dot is in the hundred's
place. The numeric value 1.5 is converted into a fraction as 15/10. You should ignore
the dot and then determine the numbers after the dot. The number preceding the dot
is 5, and it is in "Unit's place." So the point is in the tenth position. So, dropping the
dot, you should consider the number 15. Then the position of the point is "tens." As a
result, it is converted to a fraction, 15/10.
A decimal is converted into a fraction to make calculations easier. If you want to
determine the percentage of a decimal number, then you should first convert the
decimal to a fraction. To convert a decimal into a fraction, you should determine the
place value of each number and the decimal point.
Convert a decimal to a fraction, and then a fraction to a percentage.
If you want to convert 0.125 as a fraction, you must first determine each other's place
value. The number 5 is in place of the unit, and the number 2 is in place of the ten.
Then the number 1 is in position 100. Following that is a point in the thousands place.
So, to convert this decimal point into a fraction, you should first drop the point. The
value is 125/1000. So, it means 125 parts out of 1000 parts. The value is therefore
insignificant. It is also known as a proper fraction. When the value of the denominator
is greater than the numerator, it is known as a proper fraction. So, 1000 is greater than
125, and hence it is a proper fraction. You can also convert 125/1000 into a
percentage. To convert 125/1000 to a percentage, multiply it by 100/1000, which
equals 12500/1000, 125/10, or 12.5%.
Further simplification of the number
The fraction 125/1000 can be further simplified. If you want to convert the fraction
125/1000 into its simplest form, then you should divide the numerator and denominator
by 125. Then the simplest form of a fraction is 1/8. The number 125, when multiplied
by 8, gives 1000. So, when you simplify 125/1000, you obtain 1/8.
Converting into a fraction is an easier way:
If you want to convert. 0.125 as a fraction,then multiply it. 125 x 1000/1 x 1000, then
you get the value 125/1000. So, now to further simplify, you should divide the
numerator and denominator by 125. As a result, the value 1/8 is obtained.
The value 125 is also known as a non-recurring value because it can be easily
converted into a fraction.
