To convert 12.8 to a fraction, we move the decimal point one place to the right to get rid of the decimal part. This gives us 128/10.
Now, to simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
128 ÷ 2 = 64
10 ÷ 2 = 5
So, the simplified fraction form of 12.8 is 64/5.
To convert 12.8 into a fraction, we need to find the equivalent fraction in simplest form.
First, we can write 12 as a fraction by multiplying it by 10/10:
12 = 12/1
Next, we convert the decimal part, 0.8, into a fraction. Since there is one digit after the decimal point, we can write 0.8 as 8/10.
Now, we can add the two fractions together:
12/1 + 8/10 = 120/10 + 8/10 = 128/10
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8:
128/10 ÷ 8/8 = 16/2
Finally, simplifying further, we get:
16/2 = 8/1
Therefore, 12.8 is equivalent to 12 8/10, which simplifies to 12 4/5 in simplest form.
