Answer 2

Answer: Mixed fraction in simplest form is given by

`1(16)/(25)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that,

A share of stock gained a total points = 1.64

Since it has a whole part i.e. 1 and decimal part i.e. 64 which is convert into a fraction as it is 0.64 , we will divide it by 100 to remove the decimal and make it a fraction.

In mixed fraction , we will write as

`1(64)/(100)\\\\=1(16)/(25)`

Hence, we get a required answer.
