Rewrite 9.524 as a mixed number in the lowest terms what is it

9 131/250 is 9.524 as a mixed number

9.524=9+.524

.524=524/1000, so 9+.524=9 + (524/1000).

Reduce terms with obvious numbers first, like 4.

524 and 1000 are both divisible by 4. (524/4) / (1000/4) = 131/250.

This is the lowest possible reduction because 131 is prime, therefore 131 and 250 share no common factors.

9.524=9+.524=9 + (524/1000) = 9 + (131/250) = 9 131/250.
