Answer 1

The correct option is A Jake

$\text{We have to convert 5.12 into a mixed}$ $\text{number.}$

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

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

$⟹5.12=5and\frac{12}{100}$

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

$⟹\frac{12}{100}=$ $\frac{12÷4}{100÷4}=\frac{3}{25}$

$⟹5.12=5\frac{3}{25}$

$\text{Hence, Jake is holding the correct}$ $\text{mixed number for 5.12.}$
