Answer to Problem 14WE
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Given number is 0.1375
To convert a decimal in fraction we need to multiply numerator and denominator of the number with 10 for every digit after the decimal. For example if there is one digit after decimal then the numerator and denominator must be multiplied by 10. If there are 2 digits after decimal then the numerator and denominator should be multiplied by 100 and so on.
