Question

A tablet weighs 1.23 pounds what is its weight written as a mixed number

Answer 1

`1(23)/(100)`

Explanation:

First we need to write 1.23 as a fraction,

`1.23=(123)/(100)`

Then we have to see whether we can simplify this further.

\frac{123}{100}[/tex] cannot be simplified further.

Now we have to divide the numerator by denominator and take the whole number answer we get,

\frac{123}{100}[/tex] will give 1 as the whole number answer.

Now we have to count the remainder after taking the whole number answer,

`100*1` gives you
`100` theres
`23` remaining.

So to write this as a Mixed number all you have to do is write the whole number and represent remainder as a fraction
`(23)/(100)`.

So we get,

1.23 =
`1(23)/(100)`
