Question

How do you write 26.2 as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

To write 26.2 as a mixed number in the simplest form, do the following:
26.2 = 26 + 0.2
         = 26 + 2/10

Note that 
$\frac{2}{10}= \frac{2 \times 1}{2 \times 5} = \frac{1}{5}$

Therefore
$26.2 = 26 \, \frac{1}{5}$

Answer:  $26 \, \frac{1}{5}$
