Answer: 12 2/25

Step-by-step explanation: First, we know that we have 12 as our whole number, so, so far, we have 12 and x/y.

To make the .08 of 12.08 a fraction, we first make it 0.08, since it is .08, but another way to write that is 0.08.

Now, we convert it into a fraction: It had three digits; a unit, a tenth, and a hundredth:

0 = unit

0 = tenth

8 = hundredth

Since it has three digits, we know that the denominator will be 100, and since 8 is the last digit, we know that the numerator is 8.

So 12 and 8/100 is our answer.

But what if we wanted to reduce it?

Well, by factoring and canceling, we get 2/25.

So the final answer is 12 and 2/25.
