Question

Write 8.77 as a mixed number, reduced to lowest terms.

Answer 1

Converting a decimal to a mixed number is very simple when you get the hang of it. Since 8 is before the decimal, that is your number in the mixed number. For the fraction part, it's 77/100. The denominator is 100 because when you count the decimal places, it goes to hundredths. 77/100 is already in simplest form, so your final answer is 8 77/100.
