Answer 2

.88 is 88/100 and that reduced is 22/25

Answer 3

1. Convert 0.88 into a fraction form: 0.88 = 0.88/1

2. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to convert them into integers.   We have:

0.88/1 = (0.88x100) / (1x100) = 88/100

3. Factor both the numerator and denominator with their prime numbers: 

88 = 2x2x2x11 and 100 =2x2x5x5 (Those step-by-step divisions are skiped in here.)

4. Rewrite the fraction: 88/100 = (2x2x2x11) / (2x2x5x5)

5. Reduce the fraction by eliminating the common factors: 

88/100 = (2x2x2x11) / (2x2x5x5) = (2x2x2x11) / (2x2x5x5) = (2x11) / (5x5) = 22/25

The answer is: 0.88 = 22/25
