this is a decimal point followed by a 28
it is equivalent to a fraction of 28 over 100
100 because the 28 has 2 places after the point
0.307 would be 307 over 1000
0.045 is 45 over 1000, there are 3 places after the decimal so 1000.

Now, reduce the fraction 28/100
14/50 = 7/25

0.28 can be written as the fraction 28/100. Because both numbers are even in the numerator and the denominator, 28/100=14/50. 14/50=7/25. So 7/25 is the fraction for 0.28. Hope that helps!

imagine writing a 1 under the decimal and a 0 under each sig fig to the right of the decimal. this makes a number looking like 10, 100, 1000, etc.

place the original number without the decimal over the 10, 100, 1000 or whatever.

this is your fraction. yours would be 28/100 which if you factor out a 4, this would simplify to the fraction 7/25

Look at the decimal places. the ones place is where the zero is. Next to the right is the tenths place. This is where the 2 is. next will be the hundredths place. Here is the 8.
Putting it all together we have 28 hundredths because there's a zero in the ones place. In fraction form the 28 hundredths can be written as 28/100 or 28 over 100.

0.28 is 28 out of 100. To the right of the decimal, you begin with the tenths place, then hundreths, ten hundredth, and so on. So it would be 28 out of a hundred, or 28/100. Simplified 7/25.

0.28 just means 28/100.
You can reduce this by dividing by 4,
to 7/25.
And that is your fraction, because you cannot reduce it any farther,

it would be 28/100 it can be reduced down, to explain, .28 = 28% and all a % is is that number over 100 so that is it. reduced down i guess it would be 14/50 or 7/25 which if you divide 7 by 25 you should end up with .28 good luck tommy
