Answer 1

To convert 12.8 to a fraction, follow these steps:

1. Start by expressing the decimal as a fraction: \[ 12.8 = \frac{128}{10} \]

2. Simplify the fraction:

   • Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 128 and 10. The GCD is 2.
   • Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD: \[ \frac{128 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{64}{5} \]

Thus, the simplest form of 12.8 as a fraction is: \[ \frac{64}{5} \]

However, if we specifically look at the provided answers, we notice:

• 12 Start Fraction 4 over 5 End Fraction can be interpreted as \(12 + \frac{4}{5} = 12.8\).

Hence, if the options were meant to match the whole number and the fraction, the answer would be: \[ 12 \frac{4}{5} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is \( \text{12} \frac{4}{5} \).
