Question

How would you write 2.11 as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

`2.11`

The first, decimal place is the tenths place and the second is the hundredths place. Since the decimal goes out to two decimal places, the fraction must be over one hundred. To find the numerator, simply look at the value of the decimal, in this case, 11.


`2 (11)/(100)`

That is your final answer, since 11 and 100 have no common factors besides 1, as 11 is a prime number.
