Question

How is 1 and 23/100 expressed as a decimal

Answer 1

1 and 2/3 or 1 2/3 expressed as a decimal is, 1.666667. How I got this answer is:

1 2/3 is a mixed fraction, so what I do to convert that into an improper fraction(the numerator is a higher number than the denominator or equal to the denominator) is I multiply the whole number, 1, by the denominator and the add the numerator so, 1 * 2 = 2. Then, 2 + 3 which equals 5. Also, the denominator stays the same so the improper fraction would be, 5/3. To convert an improper fraction to a decimal you just divide the numerator by the denominator. Therefore, the answer is 1.666667!

Answer 2

1 is expressed in decimal simply as 1.00
23/100 is expressed in decimal by 0.23

1 is a whole number and for it to become a decimal we must convert it into a fraction and perform division. 1 in fraction form is simply 1/1 which equals to 1.

23/100 to become decimal we need to divide 23 by 100. It will give us a quotient of 0.23
