Which mixed number is equivalent to 5.2? A. 5 AND 1/5 B. 5 AND 1/4 C. 5 AND 2/3 D. 5 AND 1/2
@_Michaeld22
the fraction is 26/5
The way that you can get the answer is by leaving the 5 there (since it is a whole number) and dividing the fraction. For example 1/4 = 0.25. And remember that you have a 5. All you have to do is stick that decimal to the end of the 5. It will become 5.25. (I know that is not the answer you are looking for, but it might help.) If you need more explination with the question, let me know.
@ganeshie8
is A
How would I find the answer to the question tho?
he just told you. if you take the five it will be 0.2 and the fraction is 1/5 so the answer will be 5 and 1/5
Since you need to find a decimal, and they give you a mixed fraction, all you have to do is divide the fraction.
thanks :)
