Answer :

Answer:  [tex]9 \frac{371}{1000}[/tex]

This is the same as writing 9  371/1000 or  9 & 371/1000

Explanation

The 0.371 portion represents 371/1000 since the 1 at the end is in the thousandths decimal place. This fraction cannot be reduced further, since the GCF of 371 and 1000 is 1, so we leave it as is.

Another example would be 2.6 = 2 & 6/10 = 2 & 3/5, where in this case the fraction does reduce this time. Notice the GCF of 6 and 10 is 2, so we divide each piece of the fraction by 2. That's why 6/10 = 3/5.
