Question

Which fraction shows 2.8 as the quotient of two integers?

Answer 1

Hey Banana, do we have some options to choose from? :)

Answer 2

yea i can get them :)

Answer 3

14/5
12/5
9/4
9/2

Answer 4

Remember that multiplying by 10 moves the decimal 1 place,
so that will at least get us started with whole numbers.\[\Large\rm 2.8\left(\frac{10}{10}\right)=\frac{2.8\times10}{10}=\frac{28}{10}\]From there all we need to do is reduce this fraction to lower terms.

Answer 5

hint: using a calculator or long division, you will find that 9/2 = 4.5 which is NOT the same as 2.8 allowing you eliminate choice D

Answer 6

For 28 and 10, do they have FACTOR in common?
Can we take something out of both of them to reduce the fraction?
