1.6 converted to fraction is
(8)/(5)

Solution:

Given that we have to convert 1.6 to fraction

So we need to convert from decimal to fraction

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1

$\rightarrow (1.6)/(1)$

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point

Here we have only one digit after decimal point. So use 10

$\rightarrow (1.6 * 10)/(1 * 10)$

Step 3: Simplify the fraction

$\rightarrow (1.6 * 10)/(1 * 10) = (16)/(10) = (8)/(5)$

Thus 1.6 converted to fraction is
(8)/(5)
