Answer 1

To convert the decimal 0.16 into a fraction, we can follow these steps:

1. Write 0.16 as \(\frac{16}{100}\) because there are two decimal places.
2. Simplify the fraction \(\frac{16}{100}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 16 and 100, which is 4.

So, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

\[
\frac{16 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{4}{25}
\]

Now, let's compare \(\frac{4}{25}\) with the given options:

- A: \(\frac{1}{12}\)
- B: \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- C: \(\frac{1}{6}\)
- D: \(\frac{1}{9}\)

None of these options match \(\frac{4}{25}\). Thus, it appears that none of the provided responses are correct.
