| Rule: write the decimal as a mixed number. Whole part + fraction from the decimal part. | ||
| Rule: simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their HCF. |
| Decimal | = | 1.8 |
| The whole number part is 1. The decimal part 0.8 = 8/10. So 1.8 = 1 8/10. | ||
| Find the HCF of 8 and 10. HCF = 2. | ||
| Simplify fraction | = | 8/10 = (8 / 2)/(10 / 2) = 4/5 |
| Mixed number | = | 1 4/5 |
| 1 4/5 matches option (1). | ||
