Question

Which of the following decimal number cannot be converted to a mixed number?

• A. $1.15$
• B. $2.15$
• C. $10.15$
• D. $0.15$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.15$

$\Rightarrow$ A decimal number is a number that consists of a whole number and a fractional part.

$\Rightarrow$The decimal point separates the whole number from the fractional part.

Note: Look at the number to the left of the decimal.

$\Rightarrow$ If it is zero, the decimal can be converted to a proper fraction.

$\Rightarrow$ If it is not zero, the decimal can be converted to a mixed number.

In the number 1.15, the decimal point separates the whole number 1 from the fractional part 15. Hence 1.15 can be converted into a proper fraction

Similarly, $2.15$ and $10.15$ can also be converted to a mixed number.

$\therefore 0.15$ cannot be converted to a mixed number, as there is no whole part in $\mathrm{0.15.}$
