anonymous · Answer

3.4 is the number of interest, right? what number would you multiply 3.4 in order to get rid of the decimal? (hint, decimal system works in factors of 10)

anonymous · Answer

I have no idea

anonymous · Answer

maybe ten?

anonymous · Answer

3.4 is the same as $$\frac{ 3.4 }{ 1 }$$ so if you times the top and bottom by 10 (to get rid of the decimal point) you get$$\frac{ 34 }{ 10 }$$

anonymous · Answer

from here you simplify, so what number goes into both 34 and 10?

anonymous · Answer

2 lol

anonymous · Answer

that's all correct, good job guys :)

anonymous · Answer

right so then you'd get $$\frac{ 17 }{ 5 }$$ and that's your fraction, BUT it is an improper fraction, and the question asked for a mixed number

anonymous · Answer

Yeah I figured, cause it wasn't one of my choices, so what would I do in order to get a mixed number?

anonymous · Answer

so you divide the top number by the bottom number: |dw:1366372586577:dw|
