Answer 2

Answer: 17.16 can be expressed as

429/25 = 17 4/25 (mixed fraction) as a mixed number in lowest terms.

Verbally : 17 whole number, 4 over 25.

Explanation:

17.16

First : convert 17.16 to improper fraction

17.16 = 1716 / 100 (the place value of 6 is hundredths. That is how i obtain my denominator of 100)

1716 / 100 (divide both sides by 4)

= 429 / 25

Since no other figure can divide both sides, we convert the improper fraction to mixed fraction

Thus: 429 / 25

= 17 4/25

17 whole number... 4 over 25.

When you take that mixed fraction back to improper fraction, you are going to obtain 429 / 25.

(17 ×25) + 4 = 429 / 25
