Given the value:
1.6
Write as a fraction.
Solution:
In order to write the given value into fraction, we simply need first to convert it to mixed number. To do so, exclude the whole number and focus on the decimal. Treat .6 as a whole number 6 then divide by 10 since its place value is in the tenths place.
= 6/10
= 3/5
Add the whole number to the front.
= 1 3/5
To change the mixed number into improper fraction, we simply need to multiply the whole number to the denominator and then add the product to the numerator, whereas we retain the denominator as it is.
1 3/5
=8/5
Final answer:
1.6 = 8/5
