If this is not a typo, and you mean 15.16 as in 15 and 16 hundredths, we can express this into a mixed number. Mixed numbers are a whole number with the remainder of that number as a fraction. For example, 1.25 as a decimal = 1 1/4 as a mixed number. Since we already have our whole number, 15, we need to know what 16 hundredths is simplified as a fraction. Currently, our mixed number is 15 16/100. To simplify this, we need to find a common factor that 16 and 100 share. Since they are both even numbers, let's divide by 2. 16/2 = 8 100/2 = 50. Our new mixed number is 15 8/50. Currently our fraction is still even, so divide by 2 again. 8/2 = 4 50/2 = 25 Your new mixed number is 15 4/25. 4 and 25 have no common factors, so the fraction is simplified. Your answer is: 15.16 is 15 4/25 as a mixed number. I hope this helps!
