Step-by-step explanation:
17.16
First : convert 17.16 to improper fraction
17.16 = 1716 / 100 (the place value of 6 is hundredths. That is how i obtain my denominator of 100)
1716 / 100 (divide both sides by 4)
= 429 / 25
Since no other figure can divide both sides, we convert the improper fraction to mixed fraction
Thus: 429 / 25
= 17 4/25
17 whole number... 4 over 25.
When you take that mixed fraction back to improper fraction, you are going to obtain 429 / 25.
(17 ×25) + 4 = 429 / 25
