Answer:
The number as a mixed number in simplest form is \(1.64=1\frac{16}{25}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Last week the cost of a tank of gas increased by $1.64.
To find : Express this increase as a mixed number in simplest form ?
Solution :
Increased number is 1.64.
First we remove decimal,
\(1.64=\frac{164}{100}\)
Write in more simpler form,
\(1.64=\frac{41}{25}\)
Now, Divide 41 by 25
\(41=25\times 1+16\)
The mixed form of the number is
\(1.64=1\frac{16}{25}\)
Therefore, The number as a mixed number in simplest form is \(1.64=1\frac{16}{25}\)
