Question

the result of an experiment was 117.755 particles per milliliter. write the decimal as a mixed number.

Answer 1

The result of experiment in mixed fraction form is $117\frac{151}{200}$  particles per milliliter.

What is the result of the experiment in mixed fraction form?

To convert decimal to fraction, we the decimal number over 1 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by power of 10.

Given the data in the question;

• Result of experiment in decimal form = 117.755
• Result of experiment in mixed fraction form = ?

In 117.755, we have 3 numbers to the right of the decimal point.

We have 10³ which is the same as 1000.

$\frac{117.755}{1} * \frac{1000}{1000}\\\\\frac{117755}{1000}$

Next, we divide both the numerator and the denominator with their Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest Common Factor of 117755 and 1000 is 5

$\frac{\frac{117755}{5} }{\frac{1000}{5} } = \frac{23551}{200}$

Now, we can get 200 out of 23551 exactly 117 times, since what remained is not divisible by 200, we leave it as a remainder [151].

We can now write this in a mixed fraction form as;

$117\frac{151}{200}$

Therefore, the result of experiment in mixed fraction form is $117\frac{151}{200}$  particles per milliliter.
