write 0.61 as a fraction.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal to fraction conversion

A decimal like \(0.61\) can be written as the number of hundredths because the second decimal place is the hundredths place. So \(0.61=\frac{61}{100}\) since there are 61 hundredths.

Step2: Check if the fraction can be simplified

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 61 and 100 is 1 (because 61 is a prime number and doesn't divide 100), so the fraction \(\frac{61}{100}\) is in its simplest form.

Answer:

\(\frac{61}{100}\)
