Here are the solutions to your questions:

1. Express the following decimals as proper fractions. Give your answers in lowest terms.

a) 0.41

  1. Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 100 (since there are two decimal places).

    0.41=411000.41 = \frac{41}{100}
  2. Simplify the fraction.

    Since 41 is a prime number and 100 is not divisible by 41, the fraction is already in its lowest terms.

    41100\boxed{\frac{41}{100}}

    b) 0.6

  3. Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 10 (since there is one decimal place).

    0.6=6100.6 = \frac{6}{10}
  4. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

    6÷210÷2=35\frac{6 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{3}{5} 35\boxed{\frac{3}{5}}

    c) 0.36

  5. Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

    0.36=361000.36 = \frac{36}{100}
  6. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

    36÷4100÷4=925\frac{36 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{9}{25} 925\boxed{\frac{9}{25}}

    d) 0.72

  7. Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

    0.72=721000.72 = \frac{72}{100}
  8. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

    72÷4100÷4=1825\frac{72 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{18}{25} 1825\boxed{\frac{18}{25}}

    e) 0.125

  9. Write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1000 (since there are three decimal places).

    0.125=12510000.125 = \frac{125}{1000}
  10. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125.

    125÷1251000÷125=18\frac{125 \div 125}{1000 \div 125} = \frac{1}{8} 18\boxed{\frac{1}{8}}

    2. Convert the following to improper fractions.

    a) 8.4

  11. Express the decimal as a mixed number.

    8.4=84108.4 = 8 \frac{4}{10}
  12. Simplify the fractional part.

    84÷210÷2=8258 \frac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = 8 \frac{2}{5}
  13. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.

    (8×5)+25=40+25=425\frac{(8 \times 5) + 2}{5} = \frac{40 + 2}{5} = \frac{42}{5} 425\boxed{\frac{42}{5}}

    b) 2.64

  14. Express the decimal as a mixed number.

    2.64=2641002.64 = 2 \frac{64}{100}
  15. Simplify the fractional part.

    264÷4100÷4=216252 \frac{64 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = 2 \frac{16}{25}
  16. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    (2×25)+1625=50+1625=6625\frac{(2 \times 25) + 16}{25} = \frac{50 + 16}{25} = \frac{66}{25} 6625\boxed{\frac{66}{25}}

    c) 7.24

  17. Express the decimal as a mixed number.

    7.24=7241007.24 = 7 \frac{24}{100}
  18. Simplify the fractional part.

    724÷4100÷4=76257 \frac{24 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = 7 \frac{6}{25}
  19. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    (7×25)+625=175+625=18125\frac{(7 \times 25) + 6}{25} = \frac{175 + 6}{25} = \frac{181}{25} 18125\boxed{\frac{181}{25}}

    d) 6.25
