Question

How will you write the weight of the sack of rice in fractional form?

• A. $3\frac{56}{25}$
• B. $3\frac{15}{64}$
• C. $3\frac{14}{25}$
• D. $3\frac{14}{100}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3\frac{14}{25}$

$\text{The weight of the sack of rice =}$ $\text{3.56 lbs}$

$\text{We can see that this value consists}$ $\text{of a whole-number part and a}$ $\text{decimal part.}$

$\text{We will keep the whole-number part}$ $\text{and divide the decimal part by 100.}$

$⟹3.56=3and\frac{56}{100}$

$\text{Let's convert the fractional part into}$ $\text{its simplest form.}$

$⟹\frac{56}{100}=$ $\frac{56÷4}{100÷4}=\frac{14}{25}$

$⟹3.56=3\frac{14}{25}$
