Question

What is 1.6 converted to a fraction?

Answer 1

1.6 converted to fraction is $\frac{8}{5}$

Solution:

Given that we have to convert 1.6 to fraction

So we need to convert from decimal to fraction

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1

$\rightarrow \frac{1.6}{1}$

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point

Here we have only one digit after decimal point. So use 10

$\rightarrow \frac{1.6 \times 10}{1 \times 10}$

Step 3: Simplify the fraction

$\rightarrow \frac{1.6 \times 10}{1 \times 10} = \frac{16}{10} = \frac{8}{5}$

Thus 1.6 converted to fraction is $\frac{8}{5}$
