Question

3.02 as a mixed number

Answer 1

You can identify that the number given in the exercise is a Decimal Number because it has a decimal point.

Then, to convert to a Mixed Number, you can follow the steps shown below:

1. Identify the decimal part of the number and the whole part.

2. Separate them using the symbol + :

`3.02=3+0.02`

2. Let's focus on the decimal part. Write 1 is its denominator:

`(0.02)/(1)`

3. To express the numerator as an Integer, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100 (to move the decimal point to places to the right):

`=(0.02\cdot100)/(1\cdot100)=(2)/(100)`

4. Reduce the fraction:

`=(1)/(50)`

5. Now you can write the Mixed Number as follows:

`3.02=3(1)/(50)`

Therefore, the answer is:

`3(1)/(50)`
