Answer (2)

To find the simplest form, first multiply by integers, starting with 1, then 2, then 3, and so on until the multiplication yield a whole number.
For instance: 0.25 1 = 0.25 0.25 2 = 0.5 0.25 3 = 0.75 0.25 4 = 1 the simplest form uses the denominator of 4 and a numerator of 1
following the same procedure: 2.3 1 = 2.3 2.3 2 = 4.6 etc.... 2.3*10 = 23 denominator is 10 and numerator is 23
Answers:
