Question

What is 27.2 in a fraction

Answer 1

The answer is 27 1/5 or 136/5. 

Answer 2

The answer would be 27 1/5 because if you multiply 0.2 by 5 the answer is 1 so 0.2 is a fifth This answer is a MIXED NUMBER.

The answer could also be 136/5 as 27X5=135 but you cannot forget the .2 which would be another fifth so it would be 136/5 This answer is an IMPROPER FRACTION.
