Question

Convert 0.401 into a fraction.

$\frac{401}{1000}$
$\frac{40}{1000}$
$\frac{41}{1000}$
$\frac{401}{100}$

hint Hint:

To convert a decimal into fraction, multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 for every number after the decimal points. for example
$0.2 space c a n space a l s o space b e space w r i t t e n space a s space fraction numerator 0.2 over denominator 1 end fraction N o w space t h e r e space i s space o n l y space 1 space d i g i t space a f t e r space t h e space d e c i m a l space p o i n t space s o space m u l t i p l y space t h e space n u m e r a t o r space a n d space d e n o m i n a t o r space b y space 10 fraction numerator 0.2 over denominator 1 end fraction cross times 10 over 10 equals 2 over 10$

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator 401 over denominator 1000 end fraction$

To convert a decimal into fraction, multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 for every number after the decimal points.
Here $0.401 space c a n space a l s o space b e space w r i t t e n space a s space fraction numerator 0.401 over denominator 1 end fraction a f t e r space t h e space d e c i m a l space p o i n t s space t h e r e space a r e space 3 space d i g i t s comma space s o space m u l t i p l y space t h e space n u m e r a t o r space a n d space d e n o m i n a t o r space b y space 10 space f o r space e v e r y space n u m b e r space a f t e r space t h e space d e c i m a l space p o i n t s. fraction numerator 0.401 over denominator 1 end fraction space cross times fraction numerator 10 cross times 10 cross times 10 over denominator 10 cross times 10 cross times 10 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 0.401 over denominator 1 end fraction cross times 1000 over 1000 equals space 401 over 1000$
Thus 0.401 = $401 over 1000$
