Answer:

Explanation:

7.1 = 7 1/10

That first decimal place is called tenths. You take what ever number is in that decimal place and put it over ten.

The simpliest form is 71/10, the fraction

Explanation:

Since this isn't a really small (1/1000000000) or really big (like the radius of the earth) number you don't need the standard notation, so the fraction 71/10 is the simpliest because there is only a decimal, so it can be a fraction of ten.
