Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there is 11 number to the right of the decimal point, place the decimal number over 101101 (1010). Next, add the whole number to the left of the decimal.16101610Reduce the fractional part of the mixed number.135135Convert the mixed number 135135 into an improper fraction first by multiplying the denominator (55) by the whole number part (11) and add the numerator (33) to get the new numerator. Place the new numerator (88) over the old denominator (55).85

To write 1.6 as a fraction you have to write 1.6 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
1.6 = 1.6/1 = 16/10

And finally we have:
1.6 as a fraction equals 16/10
