Question

The maximum height of an Asian elephant is 9.8 feet.what mixed fraction number represents this height?

Answer 1

9.8 can also be written as 98/10
The mixed fraction that represents this will be 9 8/10

In short, your answer is 9 8/10

Answer 2

So when you have a decimal that number is normally based on a 1/10 or 1/100 portion (think penny's and dimes with a dollar). So the big number of the mixed fraction is 9, it gives us that. So the actual fraction part will be 8/10 (8 dimes in this dollar, 80 cents = .80). Then reduce it down.
