write the umber 10.5 in the form a/b
The umber 10.5 can be written as
==> 21 / 2
==> 42 / 4
==> 63 / 6
==> 84 / 8
==> 105 / 10
and many, many other ways.
They ALL have the same value.
Answer:
\(\frac{21}{2}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given number is 10.5.
We need to write the given number in the form of a/b.
Multiply an divide the given number by 10 to remove the decimal.
\(10.5\times \frac{10}{10}\)
\(\frac{10.5\times 10}{10}\)
\(\frac{105}{10}\)
It can be written as
\(\frac{5\times 21}{5\times 2}\)
Now cancel out common factors.
\(\frac{21}{5}\)
Therefore, the fraction form of given number is \(\frac{21}{2}\).
