Step-by-Step Solution for Converting 0.67 to a Fraction

Step 1: Understand the Number

The number 0.67 is a decimal, which can be broken into two parts:

• The whole number part is: 0.
• The decimal part is: 0.67.

We aim to convert the entire number into a fraction.

Step 2: Isolate the Decimal Part (0.67)

Focus on the decimal part (0.67) and represent it as a fraction.

Step 2.1: Write 0.67 as \( \frac67100 \)

The decimal 0.67 can be read as "67 hundredths." Mathematically, this is:

\[ 0.67 = \frac67100 \]

Step 2.2: Simplify the Fraction

Now simplify \( \frac67100 \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 67 and 100.

• The GCD of 67 and 100 is: 1.
• Therefore, the simplified fraction is:

\[ \frac67100 \]

Step 3: Combine the Whole Number and Fraction

The original number 0.67 is the sum of the whole number 0 and the fraction \( \frac67100 \).

Combine these as a mixed number:

\[ 0.67 = 0 + \frac67100 = \frac67/100 \]

Step 4: Verify the Answer

To verify, divide \( \frac67/100 \):

\[ \frac67/100 = 0.67 \]

Thus, the fraction is correct.

Final Answer

The decimal 0.67 as a fraction is:

\[ \frac67/100 \]

If expressed as a mixed number:

\[ 67/100 \]
