Question

How do you convert $1.7$ into a fraction?

Answer 1

Converting decimal to fraction:

Given, $1.7$

Whenever there is one number after the decimal place, think of it as out of $10$.

The decimal number $1.7$ can be written as $\frac{17}{10}$, if we drop the decimal sign.

Now $\frac{17}{10}$ is the simplest form of fraction.

This can be written as.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{17}{10}=\frac{10+7}{10} \\ =1+\frac{7}{10} \\ =1\frac{7}{10} \end{gathered}$$

So, the mixed fraction is $1\frac{7}{10}$

Therefore, $1.7$ is converted into fraction as $1\frac{7}{10}$ and $\frac{17}{10}$.
