Answer 1

Given the following number:

`\text{ 258.14}`

Let's write it in a fraction or mixed number in the lowest terms.

Since the decimal is 0.14, putting it into fraction will be:

`\text{ 0.14 = }(14)/(100)`

Simplifying,

`\text{ }(14)/(100)\text{ = }(7)/(50)`

258 is a whole number, thus, it will become a mixed number, we just add 258 and 7/50.

The answer is, therefore:

`\text{ 258.14 = 258 }(7)/(50)`
`\text{ Answer: 258 }(7)/(50)`
