Answer 2

Answer: Owen's height in Mixed number :
`147(3)/(10)` cm

Owen's height in Improper fraction :
`(1473)/(10)` cm

Explanation:

Given : Owen is 147.3 cm tall.

We can write 147.3 as :

`147.3=147+0.3` (1)

We can write 0.3 as :
`0.3=(3)/(10)`

Now (1) becomes,
`147.3=147+(3)/(10)`

which can be written as mixed fraction as :
`147+(3)/(10)=147(3)/(10)`

In improper fraction , it will becomes :
`147+(3)/(10)=(147(10)+3)/(10)=(1473)/(10)`
