Question

what is 12.8 converted to a fraction the answer should be given in simplest form.

Answer 1

To convert 12.8 to a fraction, we can set up the following expression:

12.8 = x/y

To remove the decimal place, we multiply the equation by 10:

12.8 * 10 = x/y * 10

128 = x/y

Since x and y must be integers, we can determine that x = 128 and y = 10.

Thus, 12.8 as a fraction in its simplest form is 128/10.
