Answer 1

To convert the decimal 12.8 to a fraction, we can follow these steps:

1. Write 12.8 as a fraction: \( 12.8 = \frac{128}{10} \) (because there is one digit after the decimal point).

2. Simplify the fraction \( \frac{128}{10} \):
- Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2.
- \( \frac{128 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{64}{5} \).

3. Therefore, we can express it as:
\[ 12.8 = 12 \frac{4}{5} \]

So the correct response is:
**12 Start Fraction 4 over 5 End Fraction**.
