Answer 2

54.1256  

= 54 + 0.1256
 
0.1256 =   1256/10000             4 into 1256 is 314   4 into 10000 is 2500
  
             =    314/2500                2 into 314 is 157, 2 into 2500 is 1250
 
             =   157/1250
 

Therefore 54.1256 =        54        and     57/1250

We can convert it into improper fraction =          (1250*54 + 57)/1250
    
                                                                =  67657/1250

Therefore 54.1256 = 54  and  57/1250  
      
                       or        67657/1250
