3.2 = 3 2/10 = 2 1/5
I'll check your answer for 5.4
5.4= 5 4/10
To write a decimal as a mixed number, you need to separate the whole number part and the fractional part.
Let's start with 3.2:
Step 1: The whole number part is 3 because it comes before the decimal point.
Step 2: The fractional part is 0.2. To express this as a fraction, we want to write it over a base of 1. In this case, 0.2 can be written as 2/10 (since there is 1 digit after the decimal point, we put 10 as the base).
Now we can write the mixed number:
3 + 2/10
To simplify, we can reduce the fraction:
3 + 1/5
So, 3.2 can be written as the mixed number 3 1/5.
Now let's move on to 5.4:
Step 1: The whole number part is 5 because it comes before the decimal point.
Step 2: The fractional part is 0.4. Following the same approach as above, we can write it as 4/10.
Now we can write the mixed number:
5 + 4/10
Simplifying the fraction:
5 + 2/5
Therefore, 5.4 can be written as the mixed number 5 2/5.
