Answer:

Thus, 28/5 is equivalent of 5.6

Explanation:

Given

Number is 5.6

it is in decimal form.

The first number after decimal represent the tenth of number

The Second number after decimal represent the hundredth of number

and similarly we can define thousandth of a number.

Step to write decimal number in fractional form is (say a.bcd

write the full number without decimal

so number will be

abcd

divide the number by 1

abcd/1

now count the number of digit after decimal and put as many 0's after 1

there are three digits after decimal, we will put three digit after 1 in denominator

thus number in fraction is

abcd/1000

_________________________________________________

Given number is 5.6

hence writing it in fractional form as explained above

5.6 = 56/10

56 = 28*2

10 = 2*5

5.6 = 56/10 = 2*28/2*5 = 28/5

Thus, 28/5 is equivalent of 5.6
