- To convert a decimal to a fraction, we need to count the number of decimal places and write the decimal as the numerator over 1 followed by the same number of zeros as the decimal places. For example, 0.25 can be written as 25/100 or 1/4.
- To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. For example, (a/b) × (c/d) = (ac/bd).
- To simplify a fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. For example, 6/12 can be simplified to 1/2 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6.
- In the given problem, we need to multiply 0.00625 with 23/5 and express the result as a vulgar fraction. To do this, we first convert 0.00625 to fraction form by writing it as 625/100000. We then multiply it with 23/5 to get 14375/500000.
