Answer :
The first step is writing the number as a fraction:
2.85=2.85/1
Then we multiply both top and bottom with 100:
(2.85)*100/1*100=285/100
Then we simplify the fraction by dividing the top and the bottom with the same number (the results must be whole numbers).In our case we divide with 5:
285:5/100/5=57/20
So, 2.85 can be written as a fraction as: 57/20.
Next and final step is to write this fraction as a whole number:
57/20=(20+20+17)/20=20/20+20/20+17/20=1+1+17/20=2 17/20
So, the length of the cellphone is 2 17/20.
we know that
the number [tex]2.85[/tex] is equal to
[tex]2.85=2+0.85[/tex]
[tex]0.85[/tex] is equal to
[tex]\frac{85}{100} [/tex]
divide by 5 both members
[tex] \frac{85}{100} = \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
so
[tex]2.85=2 \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
the answer is
[tex]2 \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
the number [tex]2.85[/tex] is equal to
[tex]2.85=2+0.85[/tex]
[tex]0.85[/tex] is equal to
[tex]\frac{85}{100} [/tex]
divide by 5 both members
[tex] \frac{85}{100} = \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
so
[tex]2.85=2 \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
the answer is
[tex]2 \frac{17}{20} [/tex]
