Answer

(i) Given,

0.65=65100\Rightarrow 0.65 = \dfrac{65}{100}

The H.CF. of 65 and 100 is 5, dividing the numerator and denominator by 5,

65÷5100÷51320.\Rightarrow \dfrac{65 ÷ 5}{100 ÷ 5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{13}{20}.

Hence, 0.65 = 1320\dfrac{13}{20}.

(ii) Given,

1.08=108100\Rightarrow 1.08 = \dfrac{108}{100}

The H.CF. of 108 and 100 is 4, dividing the numerator and denominator by 4,

108÷4100÷42725\Rightarrow \dfrac{108 ÷ 4}{100 ÷ 4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{27}{25}

Hence, 1.08 = 2725\dfrac{27}{25}.

(iii) Given,

0.075=751000\Rightarrow 0.075 = \dfrac{75}{1000}

The H.CF. of 75 and 1000 is 25, dividing the numerator and denominator by 25,

75÷251000÷25340\Rightarrow \dfrac{75 ÷ 25}{1000 ÷ 25} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{40}

Hence, 0.075 = 340\dfrac{3}{40}.

(iv) Given,

2.016=20161000\Rightarrow 2.016 = \dfrac{2016}{1000}

The H.CF. of 2016 and 1000 is 8, dividing the numerator and denominator by 8,

2016÷81000÷8252125\Rightarrow \dfrac{2016 ÷ 8}{1000 ÷ 8} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{252}{125}

Hence, 2.016 = 252125\dfrac{252}{125}.

(v) Given,

1.732=17321000\Rightarrow 1.732 = \dfrac{1732}{1000}

The H.CF. of 1732 and 1000 is 4, dividing the numerator and denominator by 4

1732÷41000÷4433250\Rightarrow \dfrac{1732 ÷ 4}{1000 ÷ 4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{433}{250}

Hence, 1.732 = 433250\dfrac{433}{250}.
