Yes, 81/10 can be simplified. Since it is an improper fraction, since its numerator is larger than its denominator, that means it can be converted to a mixed number.

First, find how many times the numerator goes into the denominator.
81 goes into 10 8 times, with a remainder of 1.
This means 81/10 is equal to 8 and 1/10.

As a mixed number, 81/10 is 8 and 1/10.

To further simplify this, you can convert it to an integer.
First, convert 1/10 to a decimal.
1/10 = 0.1
Then, add this decimal to the whole number, 8.
8 + 0.1 = 8.1
This means 8 and 1/10 is equal to 8.1.

As an integer, 8 and 1/10, which is simplified from 81/10, is equal to 8.1.

Answers:
81/10 = 8 and 1/10 = 8.1

Hope this helps!

The answer would be 8 1/10.
81 divided by 10 = 8r.1 (your whole number)
Your remainder then goes as your numerator.
