Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\textbf{Let us say:}`

`\mathsf{8.55 \rightarrow (8.55)/(1)}`

`\textbf{This method should make this question easier to solve (in some cases}\\\textbf{of course)}`

`\mathsf{8.55 \rightarrow (8.55)/(1)}`

`\mathsf{= (8.55)/(1)*(100)/(100)}`

`\mathsf{= (8.55*100)/(1*100)}`

`\mathsf{= (855)/(100)}`

`\mathsf{= (855/5)/(100/5)}`

`\mathsf{= (151)/(21)\rightarrow 8 (11)/(20)}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{Option\ A. \ (171)/(20)}}\huge\checkmark`
