Can you please show me the steps on how to write each decimal as a mixed number in simplest form?
1. 8.9
2. 42.96
8.9 = 8 9/10
42.96 = 42 96/100 = 42 24/25

Sure! To write each decimal as a mixed number in simplest form, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the whole number part of the decimal. This is the part of the number before the decimal point.
2. Determine the fraction part of the decimal. This is the part of the number after the decimal point.
3. Simplify the fraction part, if possible, to its simplest form.
4. Combine the whole number part and the simplified fraction part to form the mixed number.
Let's apply these steps to the given decimals:
1. For 8.9:
- The whole number part is 8.
- The fraction part is 0.9.
- To simplify 0.9, we can express it as a fraction with a denominator of 10: 0.9 = 9/10.
- The mixed number in simplest form is 8 and 9/10, or 8 9/10.
2. For 42.96:
- The whole number part is 42.
- The fraction part is 0.96.
- To simplify 0.96, we can express it as a fraction with a denominator of 100: 0.96 = 96/100.
- The fraction 96/100 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4: 96/100 = 24/25.
- The mixed number in simplest form is 42 and 24/25 or 42 24/25.
Following these steps will help you write a decimal as a mixed number in simplest form.
