how do you convert 0.125 into a ratio

Sagot :

Start by writing the ratio of:

0.125/1 (since a number divided by 1 is itself)

Then multiply the numerator and denominator by 10, 100, or 1000, etc. until the numerator becomes an integer: (in this case multiplying by 1000 does the trick)

(0.125*1000)/(1*1000)
125/1000

Now simplify by dividing by common factors. For this problem, 5 is a common factor of both the numerator and denominator:

(125/5)/(1000/5)
25/200

Do this again with another common factor if possible. For this problem, 25 is another common factor:

(25/25)/(200/25)
1/8

Now there are no more common factors between the numerator and denominator. When this is the case, the fraction can be considered to have been simplified:

Answer is: 1/8
