Question

What is 1.6 converted to a fraction?

Answer 1

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)`
