Question

Write 1.64 as a mixed number in lowest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{16}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the decimal:

$1.64$

We can rewrite this as:

$=1+0.64$

0.64 is the same as 64/100. So:

$=1+\frac{64}{100}$

We can divide both layers by 4. This gives us:

$=1+\frac{64/4}{100/4}$

Divide:

$=1+\frac{16}{25}$

So, as a mixed fraction, this is:

$1\frac{16}{25}$

And we're done!
