Answer 1

The correct option is A

$10\frac{3}{50}$

To convert the given decimal into a fraction we need to multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000.

$10.060=\frac{10060}{1000}=\frac{1006}{100}=\frac{1006÷2}{100÷2}=\frac{503}{50}$

Now, we need to convert the improper fraction into mixed fraction.

$10.060=\frac{503}{50}=\frac{50\times 10+3}{50}=10\frac{3}{50}$
