0.016 as a fraction is 16/1000 and in simplest form it is 2/125.

An easy way to figure out the fraction of a decimal is by the decimal places. As we can see, there are four numbers in our decimal (0.016).

The first decimal place = ones
The second decimal place = tenths
The third decimal place = hundredths
The fourth decimal place = thousandths

We stop at the thousandths place, so basically, take 16 and put it over 1000, which looks like 16/1000.

Answer:

$\dfrac{40}{42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numerator of the fraction=x

Since the denominator of a fraction is two more than the numerator.

Denominator=x+2

The fraction is therefore:

$\dfrac{x}{x+2}$

If both numerator and denominator are decreased by six, the fraction becomes:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}$

The simplified result is $\dfrac{17}{18}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{x-6}{x+2-6}=\dfrac{17}{18}\\$Next, we solve for x\\Cross multiply\\18(x-6)=17(x+2-6)\\18(x-6)=17(x-4)\\Expand the bracket\\18x-108=17x-68\\Collect like terms\\18x-17x=-68+108\\x=40$
