Answer 2

To convert a decimal to a fraction, we need to determine the place value of the decimal. In this case, 12.8 has one decimal place.

Step 1: Write the decimal as the numerator of the fraction.
12.8 = 12.8/1

Step 2: Determine the denominator by raising 10 to the power of the number of decimal places; in this case, it is 10^1.
Denominator = 10^1 = 10

Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible.
12.8/1 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 0.8.

12.8 ÷ 0.8 = 16
1 ÷ 0.8 = 1.25

So, the simplified form of 12.8 is 16/1 or just 16.
