Question #0329b

Answer 1

`4588/5`

Explanation:

The number given = `917.6`

We can see that there is only `1` digit after the decimal, at the tenth place.

Therefore, `917.6` can be written as = `9176/10`
Note: If there are `2` digits after the decimal then divide by `100` and if `3` digits after the decimal, then divide by `1000` and so on to convert to fraction. The decimal gets removed when the number is divided `1/10, 1/100, 1/1000`, and so on.

So, `9176/10` = `cancel9176^4588/cancel10^5` = `4588/5`

This is the simplest form of fraction as both numerator and denominator cannot be divided by any common number except `1`.
