Answer 1

65/4 = (Decimal) 16.25 (Fraction) 16 1/4
The choice I prefer to use is fraction. It is easier to work with, in my opinion, when it comes to multiplying or dividing with other numbers/fractions.

Answer 2

`16(1)/(4)`

`16.25`

`(65)/(4)`

Explanation:

To answer this question correctly, we just need to express the given division in each form.

If we divide, we would have a mixed number which must include the remainder, because it's not an exact division, it would be

`(65)/(4)=16(1)/(4)`

This expression states that the division has a reminder of 1, because if we multiply 4(16), it would give only 64, having 1 as a reminder, that's what this expression means.

Also, the reminder expression we can represented as a decimal, where decimals number would represent the reminder fraction.

`(65)/(4)=16(1)/(4)=16.25`

As you can notice, the ".25" represent the 1/4 we had in the reminder expression.

At last, the fraction expression for this division would be

`(65)/(4)`

Notice that all three expression are related.
