Question

Represent the height of the giraffe in fractional form.

• A. $\frac{82}{5}$ ft
• B. $\frac{73}{5}$ ft
• C. $\frac{91}{5}$ ft
• D. $\frac{64}{5}$ ft

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{82}{5}$ ft

$\text{Height of the giraffe = 16.4 ft}$

$\text{To convert this decimal into a}$ $\text{fraction, we will remove the decimal}$ $\text{point and divide the denominator}$ $\text{with 10.}$

$⟹16.4=\frac{164}{10}$

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

$⟹\frac{164}{10}=$ $\frac{164÷2}{10÷2}=\frac{82}{5}$

$\text{Hence, the height of the giraffe is}$ $\frac{82}{5}\text{ft.}$
