In a bustling city in India, there was a young math enthusiast named Ravi. Ravi was fascinated with numbers and their patterns. One day, he encountered a problem that intrigued him: converting 0.43 to a fraction.
Ravi knew that to convert a decimal to a fraction, he needed to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to remove the decimal point. So, he took 0.43 and multiplied it by 100, which gave him 43 as the numerator. He knew that the denominator had to be 100 since he had multiplied by 100 to remove the decimal.
However, Ravi wanted to simplify this fraction. He knew that both 43 and 100 had a common factor of 1, as they were prime numbers. So, he divided both the numerator and the denominator by 1, resulting in the fraction 43/100.
Excited about his discovery, Ravi showed his fraction to his friends at the local tea shop. They were amazed by his precision and Ravi became a local hero among his peers. |
