To find the fraction form of a decimal number, you need to convert it into a fraction. In this case, the decimal number 5.6 can be expressed as the fraction 28/5.
Here's how you can get the fraction form:
1. Start by writing down the decimal number as a fraction, where the decimal number is the numerator and the denominator is 1. For example: 5.6/1.
2. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (or a power of 10) to move the decimal point to the right until you have a whole number. In this case, multiply both 5.6 and 1 by 10 to get 56/10.
3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 56 and 10 is 2, so divide 56 by 2 and 10 by 2 to get 28/5, which is the simplified fraction.
Therefore, the fraction form of 5.6 is 28/5.
