Express the following decimal inches to fractional dimensions to the nearest sixteenth of an inch. 79.8 in = \\frac{\\text{__<\/em>}}{16}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert a decimal measurement in inches (79.8 inches) into a fraction with a denominator of 16, we will first convert the decimal to a fraction and then round it to the nearest sixteenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Convert the Decimal Part to a Fraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by separating the whole number from the decimal part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Whole number: 79<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Decimal part: 0.8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Now, express 0.8 as a fraction:0.8=8100.8 = \\frac{8}{10}0.8=108\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next, simplify this fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2:810=45\\frac{8}{10} = \\frac{4}{5}108\u200b=54\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Convert the Fraction to a Denominator of 16<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We now need to express 45\\frac{4}{5}54\u200b with a denominator of 16. To do this, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 16 \u00f7 5 = 3.2 (we’ll round it to 3 for simplicity):45=4\u00d735\u00d73=1215\\frac{4}{5} = \\frac{4 \\times 3}{5 \\times 3} = \\frac{12}{15}54\u200b=5\u00d734\u00d73\u200b=1512\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, 79.8 inches would be approximately expressed as a mixed fraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
