Question

1.6 in simplified fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6= 8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.6=16/10

16/10=2/5 (divided by 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

1.6 = 1.6 / 1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,

1.6 / 1

 = (1.6 × 10)

(1 × 10)

= 16 / 10  

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(16,10) = 2. So,

(16÷2)  /(10÷2)

= 8  /5

when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 16  /10

is also equal to 1 3  /5

when expressed as a mixed number.
