Let's solve each problem step by step, converting decimals to fractions and simplifying where needed.
---
How to Convert Decimals to Fractions:
1. Write the decimal as a fraction with the denominator as a power of 10 (based on the number of decimal places).
2. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

Now, let's go through each one:

1. 0.5
= 5/10 =
1/2
2. 0.3
= 3/10 =
3/10 (already simplified)
3. 0.9
= 9/10 =
9/10
4. 0.04
= 4/100 = 1/25 =
1/25
5. 0.13
= 13/100 =
13/100 (already simplified)
6. 0.1
= 1/10 =
1/10
7. 0.25
= 25/100 = 1/4 =
1/4
8. 0.75
= 75/100 = 3/4 =
3/4
9. 0.05
= 5/100 = 1/20 =
1/20
10. 0.7
= 7/10 =
7/10

11. 1.25
= 1 + 0.25 = 1 + 25/100 = 1 + 1/4 =
1 1/4 or
5/4
12. 1.3
= 1 + 0.3 = 1 + 3/10 =
1 3/10 or
13/10
13. 1.1
= 1 + 0.1 = 1 + 1/10 =
1 1/10 or
11/10
14. 1.5
= 1 + 0.5 = 1 + 1/2 =
1 1/2 or
3/2
15. 1.22
= 1 + 0.22 = 1 + 22/100 = 1 + 11/50 =
1 11/50 or
61/50
16. 2.3
= 2 + 0.3 = 2 + 3/10 =
2 3/10 or
23/10
17. 1.43
= 1 + 0.43 = 1 + 43/100 =
1 43/100 or
143/100
18. 4.15
= 4 + 0.15 = 4 + 15/100 = 4 + 3/20 =
4 3/20 or
83/20
19. 2.1
= 2 + 0.1 = 2 + 1/10 =
2 1/10 or
21/10
20. 1.7
= 1 + 0.7 = 1 + 7/10 =
1 7/10 or
17/10

Tip: When writing answers, you can use either
improper fractions or
mixed numbers, unless specified otherwise. Most teachers accept both, but improper fractions are often preferred for simplicity in calculations.
