6.05
12.346
7.5

Answer 1

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Given the decimal number

`6.05`

Rewrite as

`=6+0.05`

`=6+(5)/(100)` ∵ 0.05 = 5/100

`=6+(1)/(20)`

`=\:(121)/(20)`

`=6(1)/(20)`

Given the decimal number

12.346

Rewrite as

`=12+0.346`

`=12+(173)/(500)` ∵ 0.346 = 346/1000 = 173/500

`=12(173)/(500)`

Given the decimal number

7.5

Rewrite as

`=7+0.5`

`=7+(1)/(2)` ∵ 0.5 = 1/2

`=7(1)/(2)`
